Politics and Wall Street
IF HISTORY is any guide, 2008 should be a better-than-average year for America’s stockmarkets. The Barclays Gilt-Equity Index Study shows that since 1926 Wall Street has risen by an average of 8.8% in presidential-election years. A stumbling housing market and a squeeze on global credit will not help. Investors will also be wondering if record corporate profits can be sustained. Optimists argue that on the basis of forecast profits, price/earnings ratios look cheap by historical standards. Pessimists counter that, using a smoothed average of profits, valuations are as high as they were before the 1929 crash.
