The campaigning season is coming to a close and our fate as a website is uncertain. At the end of the day, though, we at Election Stocks hope that we have been able to provide you with useful information about the candidates and their potential impact on the economy. It’s going to be a close […]

Here at Election Stocks, we always like to investigate links between politics and the stock market. That’s why an article on the Wall Street Journal’s website caught our attention today.
