S & P 500 Jan 20 2012 vs Jan 20 2009....UP 83%

S & P 500 Jan 20 2021 vs Jan 20 2017....UP 67%

Why didn't you include this comparison MM?

BTW: Jan 20 2017 vs Jan 20 2009...S & P up 182% but even this is pretty lame compared to the 210% in the 8 Clinton years.  Of course it does beat Ronald Reagan's 117%.

If the markets under Biden follow the typical pattern since 1929 you will do fine MM...on average Wall Street has done better under Democrats than Republicans.
