Except for 401k's where someone else decides, I don't play the stock market. Not enough discretionary income.

Economic conditions may or may not be related to the POTUS.

It’s interesting that Hoover didn’t make the list.

I'm so curious about this idea that the President is linked strongly to stock market performance.

From reading the article it looks like it is the luck of the draw. Inflation and just a plain bad economy seem to affect the stock market more than what the current president does. Although their current policies will probably affect the next president. Interesting article.

He did, I missed him.
