My article "Presidential Election Cycle and Its Effect on Stock Market" is now available at Seeking Alpha, http://seekingalpha.com/article/598...lection-cycle-and-its-effect-on-stock-markets
YOUR RESEARCH IS MISSING A BIG point there --- From 1929 till early parts of this century .. US was in a Bull Markets. Now there starts a long 50 year bear market in USA... So all past research is useless..
The only impact elections have on the market are this... Republican vs Democrat policies... Health Care reform effects Capital Gains taxes effecting dividend funds and stocks Defense spending effects Your article missed these vital factors. Watch the swings in these sectors as election nears.
