The DJIA is comprised of 30 blue chips stocks, it is not indicative of the market as a whole. My increase wealth is a direct reflection of my own efforts and risks taken by me, and has nothing to do with any politician. However, over the many years I have been investing, it as alway been easier to increase my portifolio when replublicans are in office than democrats. Having said that, I am not a republican or a democrat, I am a capitalist and a realist, not an idealist.
