It appears that gridlock will be good for business.

"You're not going to have runaway spending increases, you won't have a repeal of the Bush tax cuts, and there's no legislative change that will roil industries.

Man. What planet is this guy living on?

With a 50-50 in the senate and loss of the house, there will be absolute gridlock for the newxt two years. That might be the best thing right now.

You never want the government to "fix" anything, and if they are so devided it might well be a good thing.

If they are not made permanent, yes you will.

It appears Business Analysis for Investment Firms get paid to put out nonsense marketing propaganda out as news.

Guess boyo here never realized the Bush Taxcuts have a sunset provision put in place by the Democrat controlled Senate. You all do remember the Democrats controlled the Senate from mid 2001 to 2003? Forget getting them renewed now.

Wonder how the Market is going to react to that bit of data?

Yeah. They'll save on fuel costs for now, but that situation will get highly interesting in the near future. All that matters is what we can get with cheap transportation and cheap labor today, though. ...right?

Yeah, but a Senate up in the air until November 27th (apparently that is the earliest a recount can begin in Virginia) would be bad for business. I hope it's resolved long before then.

Except that gridlock will result in all the Bush taxcuts expiring. Also, I suspect that a minimum wage bill will go through and Bush will not veto.
I'm not dumping out of equities, but with Iran getting a nuke, I move about half my equity position out last year.

One huge flaw in the gridlock theory ... tax cuts expire automatically; gridlock will prevent their extension. No new taxes will result but the old ones will be back, just as the economy starts its downturn.
