The idea of a political portfolio, in other words predicting the stock market based on the outcome of an election, is not really new. And according to Daniel Gross, it’s not really accurate either.
But we at electionstocks pay careful attention to the working of politics. We realize that markets do not always favor Republicans. We [...]

Although many believe a VP should be selected with great consideration to how they may behave in the fall election, vice presidents hardly ever swing key states or have a huge impact in the general election. What is more important is how effectively they can help to manage the administration to keep the American people [...]

Oftentimes here at Election Stocks, we’ve brought you a view very supportive on free trade economics. We’ve used this view to support our idea that economics experts like Barack Obama understand the paradox in putting in tariffs to protect the lower classes. At last, I have found an article by a bonafide economist that supports [...]

Slate’s Explainer has the answer:
No. As dictated by a 2001 state law, the South Dakota Department of Health is responsible for furnishing the county auditors [...]

Where has he been? Certainly not dropping out of the race. Much like a Republican version of Hillary Clinton (albeit with much less of a chance) Ron Paul is refusing to drop out of the race, despite the near impossible odds of winning. He is trudging towards the Republic Convention, and without being offered a [...]

Now that Obama has more or less clinched the Democratic nomination, speculation on who he will choose as a running mate is rampant. One of the best articles that we’ve found is this one from the McClatchy Washington Bureau. In fact, this article does such a good job speculating on the possible choice, that we [...]
