The Trump Trade: Important to Know Where We are Today
January 23, 2017
•1 min read
In order to keep score, it is important to note that since the election US Markets added double digits to every market index ( there are a million ETF’s) related to all stocks no matter how large or small. So, lets look at an indicator and we can talk about the same thing – this will allow us to look back.
Lets use a Russell Index (IWC) which moved 22% higher since November 8th, when the Trump Trade became a reality. The Index went from $71 to $87, and currently sits at $84 on Inauguration Day . Lets use this $84 as a flag in the sand as a barometer for how small business will benefit from a de-regulation.
The market has already priced in some of the reduced regulation rallying 22% for this basket of companies since the election.
It is important to note that the rally in SmallCap started 1 Year Ago in February 2016. So, markets do what they always do – they are 6 months to a year ahead.
The question for all of you (and I) , is where is it going? My indicators tell me we have a small pullback, and much more upside. Like him or hate him, Donald Trump is our 45th President and is making history, and he is good for markets and better for Small Cap companies like we cover here at Equities.com
