A lot of news have been going on about a rally after the election, urging investors to watch out for stocks that would be experiencing significant growth. Any idea which stocks to put on my watchlist?

It’s sad that people doesn’t know how economics work

[thjbird]

Billionaires will get richer and more tax cuts.

[Shining]

People get exactly what they vote for 🇺🇸

Now they say what needed to be said before this. Inflation is not the same as high prices. But nobody would say that. These high prices have been price gouging.

[kreiner]

You're explaining all of this now, you could not have been explaining this 4 months, but now you're gonna talk about it.
I call bullshit on this

[Emma-]

BS prices never go down only slowly rise

[DavidBrown-nrpy]

Unemployment is at record lows. The stock market is at record highs. Inflation is at a normal level. Tell me how the economy was better under the felon?

[johnroberts]

They guy bankrupted a casino, what a financial wizard!

[aceocean]

Until companies 😂😂she said…. You know she fucked up right 😂😂

[landonmatthew]

the reason we’re feeling it is because this just means our retirement accounts are up, but so is cost of living and nobody’s getting raises. having our retirements perform well doesn’t change a thing about life today. it literally just makes rich people richer 😊

[wolveswithin]

How are we going to get through this. My daughter is disabled. They have said they are going to destroy social security. Medicaid. Medicare. She will die. Literally, without her medications. Obama care. Gone. So how is that better for our country? I won’t be able to afford what’s coming. Our elderly. Our most vulnerable are the sacrifice for you all who only care about the price of gas. And groceries. That are privately owned. This show is horrible. Our economy is going to be worse.

[Selenas]

Speaking as an independent… if nothing else, republican control of Washington means they can’t blame Dems if they don’t perform well these next two years. Show up and show out like yall say you would!

[WannabecopAdamHolen]

Cant wait 12 months for the policy to kick in??! Why not we've been waiting for 4 YEARS ALREADY AND HAVE GOT NOTHING GOOD!!!

[rlonzoraddison]

I wonder if tariffs, and tax breaks for corporations feed inflation?

[SoTaSpEaK]

It means good things. We know. You guys tried to lie to us again!

[marklanza]

Giving up! Better to be criminal than a hard working honest person.

[paultelesca]

But you missed that inflation is cumulative so yeah it was up 10% then 2% the combine total is a magnitude of both those numbers

[shanemcquerry]

Cry harder abc, you helped ppl get cancelled, it's your turn

[Tekevin]

Wasn’t ABC bashing Trump? Now they are complimenting?
