"Breaking it down by the numbers, FT Alphaville also pointed to a study published by the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business that shows, from 1927 up to 2015, the average excess market return with a Democrat in office is 10.7% vs. a -0.2% with a Republican."
I wonder if that is because Dem Presidents tend to get elected after the Pubs have tanked the economy, so the Dems are in office while the stock market recovers? Other than that, I don't think Presidents have that much influence over the economy. Unless they apply tariffs, of course, or otherwise screw things up.

That's because the market usually crashes after Democrats are in office for a while.

That comment made absolutely no sense at all. The research said that the stock market does BETTER under democrats, not worse. That means that, during the time democrats are in the White House, the stock market tends to perform better than under republicans.

Of the 5 biggest market down turns of the last 100 years, 4 have been towards the end of or immediately following a Republican's term as president. One Democrat.
1929- Hoover- (R)
1961- Immediately following Eisenhower (R)
1980- End of Carter (D)
1987- End of Reagan (R)
2007- End of W. Bush (R)

I think it's silly to try and make the claim that somehow Democrat presidents are responsible for a booming stock market.
Look at what happened to the same S&P 500 from 1953-1961, under the Eisenhower presidency. Then look at it again from 1981-1993 under Regan and Bush. the market skyrocketed.
BTW, under Obama we had year after year of quantitative easing, and a almost 0% interest rate. That had a lot to do with growth in the market. When interest rates are essentially zero, the market is about the only place to grow your money.

Interesting in that most Republicans here won't acknowledge that this current economy begn under the previous president.
