From what I've read, BI is basically a left-leaning research think tank located in Washington D.C. and probably fits in well with all the liberal news media. Based on where they are located they probably don't want to pi$$ off Hillary. Maybe you or they should have used the word "might" instead o "would".

CL,

Please identify which of the Brookings Institution (correct name by the way) conclusion paragraphs (numerous to choose from) you utilized for your "crushing global markets" statement.

Are you suggesting you are unable to follow it? Makes rather logical presentation. Read it again with an open mind and you will see the light.

I watch the market pretty closely and do a fair amount of reading financial news.  Right now, there is a large segment of financial soothsayer that are predicting a major recession in the second half of 2017.  Other financial soothsayers are saying that there may be a market correction in 2017, because too many stocks are over-valued. Some like to focus on gaming what the Fed will do and what impact that will have on markets.  The thing is this  - the market responds to uncertainty, and hardly ever on specific events.  Recently, the markets have gone up and down because of economic news out of China and has absolutely nothing to do with anything happening here. 

So will the market go down after the election?  I'm no oracle, but I suspect that the markets will have some kind of response to the outcome of the election, if everything thing else remains as it is. 

I repect Brookings, but they are not oracles either.  It's entirely possibly that these two gentlemen that authored the article actually lean liberal and believe that all kinds of bad things will happen if Trump is elected.  I mean, they might as well predict a huge negative impact on the global markets to try to put uncertainty in people's minds.  Most people do not understand the "global market" anymore than they understand economics or the stock market.

the funny thing is that people that write this stuff, will beat their chests in victory, if anything they mention happens.  If it doesn't, it will never be mentioned again.  Repeat this to yourself "white papers are not the same as actions"

I didn't see his name.  Anything he endorses is not likely to happen at all.  He was one of the main architects of the Iraq debacle. If he said it was raining out, I'd have to check the window.

Fish and Archie,

It Trump's platform is critical of our past and present global trade agreements, ie NAFTA, TPP, to the point of stating that he will work with Congress to revise, renegotiate,  or actually eliminate agreements that are hurtful to the American worker, just what effect would you two say a Trump victory might have on foreign exchange markets?  The currencies of Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand all rose in this scenario.  And rightly so.  They are all partners in US Free Trade agreements, those same agreements that Trump has so soundly criticized.  I assume from your posts that you two see nothing wrong with our current trade agreements and how significantly lopsided (not in our favor) they are.  But how would you know where Hillary stands, because she says NOTHING when debating Trump about any of our trade policies.  Even one that her husband championed.

I would tend to agree that in the SHORT TERM, domestic and international economies might be healthier under Clinton than Trump, simply because of Trump's platform for dramatic changes in our trade strategies, tax and monetary policy.  Changes always translate to some degree of market uncertainty.  HRC proposes no dramatic changes from where things have been for the past 8 years.  Common sense would dictate that the lack of immediate uncertainty might very well translate into better numbers for the equity markets.  However, there is nothing in this mass of graphs, formulas and conjecture that project how temporary this affect would be.  I challenge you two to find it.  They base their argument on following a certain set of economic parameters over a very short time period, immediately after the first debate.  Are you kidding me?  That is similar to saying we followed economic numbers immediately following each NFL playoff game involving the Steelers, and finding that they rose with each Steeler victory, can predict that a Steeler Super Bowl victory would lead to domestic and international economic bliss.  Cause and effect?  As much as I would like to believe it, this would be economically debatable.  

As I recall there were 3 debates, ie events, which in my mind CL, may or may not have painted the same picture based upon their identical analysis of the equity market, foreign exchange markets, futures markets etc.  We, at this point, do not know because it has not been published.  But to arrive at your post conclusion that a Trump victory would crush global markets is just not supported in this limited study analyzing market behavior between 9 and 11 pm during ONE presidential debate,  hence my request to pick a conclusion paragraph that is consistent with that view or describes the effects as "crushing".  

One last item CL and Archie.  How do you two reconcile this statement in the conclusion  "...the interests of the owners of large, publicly listed firms are better represented by the Democratic Party".   I thought that these guys were, according to HRC, the ones not paying taxes, the ones not paying their "fair share", the villains who HRC will go after in order to pay for all of her freebies.  So on one hand, she can go out to her sheeple (which I include you two) and say she will fight for the middle class, stick it to those greedy corporations, and then go to those same companies she has derided and say her party represents their interests better than the Republican party.  Which is it?  Truly, her positions publically and privately do differ.  How can you support a chameleon?

I don't think the economy is "down" when it comes to sales at the Lake. The Forum serves as a great tool for a buyer to get a "feel" for the lake. The negative comments on the Lake Martin topics concerning  noise, water levels, restaurants, and the impact of boat traffic and  wake surfing are not conducive to a good marketing plan. Lake Martin is a great lake and that story needs to be told.

all us lake folk outta just smile, keep our mouths shut and pretend there is nothing that can be improved on Lake Martin.  While that certainly is the DIMOKRAP WAY, that is very stupid.  For 40 years the power company had it's way.....and they drained the lake down 40' every year......then folks spoke up and demanded better of the power company.....and things got better.  Now you advocate let's be quiet so property values go up.....BULL.....T.  Kinda like o-BAMMIEcare.....just be quiet and enjoy all your new taxes and lousy, more expensive insurance.....o-BAMMIE knows best.  BS.

I don't think comments passed on about Lake Martin has affected the sales on the lake at all.  I think that prices on properties have been over-inflated.  I think it is an indication of the pall on the economy that people aren't buying expensive 2nd or 3rd homes as they did a while back.
