I simply cannot understand the stock market being pro-Clinton. Especially if she's elected and passes her "six years for capital gains" crap. I'm no fat cat and that's a decent portion of my retirement income.
If she's elected, I'm looking at everything I can do to manipulate my income and cheat on my taxes to ensure I'm in a <15% tax bracket. I'll probably even show numbers to put myself on the Obamacare, even though it'll likely only be for a year, since Anthem is supposedly pulling out in 2018.
She'll be absolutely terrible for anyone who plans on living on invested income.
Presumably because it means 4 more years of the status-quo in terms of economic policy, quantitative easing, low almost-zero interest rates which means you can borrow money and invest and get returns way faster than you have to pay interest. All of which has been very good for the market and asset class, while the street-level brick-n-mortar economy and jobs, people who rely on income have been stagnant, or even in decline.
A Trump presidency might jumpstart the physical economy, which will increase the money supply velocity, which will push (real) inflation, and force the Federal Reserve to raise rates. And a large number of investment banks that have perfected how to make money in the “paper economy” will have to completely switch gears and figure out how to do fundamentals analysis again, and try to pick stocks based on the actual commercial performance of the businesses that those stocks and other investment vehicles represent.
And of course there's her "public vs. private" positions, and what she's said in all those paid Wall Street speeches.
