Stock Market does not like uncertainty

I was speaking to some investors who help with my stocks, and I wanted their opinion about topsy turvy stock market. Their reply was that the stock market does not like uncertainty.

What many people don’t realize is that businessmen keep a very close eye on the law. For when the laws change, so does the business future (such as taxes going up or going down, and so on). It is not uncommon for a businessman to go into law just to know how to talk to his lawyer. People think hiring lawyers to deal with the law are expensive. Imagine how expensive it is not to hire them.

Anyway, as I suspected, they said the stock market was generally the jitters before a major election as will occur within the next couple of weeks. What they mean is that whomever gets elected, and this refers to Congress as well, the laws will massively change. It is somewhat common for the market to have these fits before an election.

Once again, I apologize about the lack of emails. I haven’t even checked my email box for this week. I’ll try to get caught up with that as well as with the gaming. The reason why I’ve gotten off course was, naturally, the inquire into the drastic drop in the stock market (and what is with the price of oil lately? I ought to buy one of those cheap SUVs if oil is going to be that cheap). But the stock market appears to be going in loops due to the upcoming election. And since my real life field is related to the political environment, my old political analysis habits fire up. Normally, I wouldn’t post any of that on this Nintendo oriented, disruption oriented site. But since it is a contrarian nature, unique where you won’t read anything quite like it on the Internet, I decided to put it up. My time will likely be absorbed more on that side, especially with post-election data, but I’ll try to keep up with the gaming.
