How would the stock market react to a Trump presidency?

[kentuck]

Mark Cuban, a billionaire opposed to Trump, says he is changing all his investments if it looks like that is going to happen. He is going to "hedge" on everything.

Could we have a repeat of the 2008 crash? Would the market have confidence in Donald Trump? Or are most investors in agreement with Mark Cuban?

Why would the market react so negatively if Donald Trump were President? What are they so concerned about?

1. Given history of republican presidents, we would most surely have an other recession

Probably much worse than the bush recession if not as great as the Great Depression.

3. There have been other economists even a lot of repub ones

Come out and say his economic plan would be a disaster. Also the instability he would cause would probably be a big factor. Economists don't like unknowns. Every time something comes out even a small indicator the market swings. A President who can't tell the truth and has no real plan or values I think would tank the economy.

4. My retirement comes OUT

If he is elected, my retirement is coming out of all mutual funds and I will just let it sit.

6. Well we are due for a major correction...but I'll probably just stay all in and dollar cost average.

That is the only proven way to succeed in the stock market over a long period of time.
