[RT] Re: Do Elections matter ?

I agree with Joe remark below, and wish to restate what I said: the 
market does not care about whether Republicans or Democrats are in 
power. You want a proof: there have been as much bear markets or bull 
markets during republican or democrat eras. 
It would be interesting here to let apart our beliefs and 
convictions, and let only the number speak for themselves: what is 
the yearly average % increase of the stock market during republican 
presidentship and during democrat presidentship for the last 100 
years. I do not have the data to perform the operation, but I would 
be curious to see the results - I think that we could become very 
humble by seeing that the markets really do not care and is not 
distributing good or bad points according to the political colour.

Maybe some RT Member who has the needed data could calculate this ?
