If Bush dies, Would the US stock market moves up or down?
May be a lot of people want Bush dies. If Bush really dies, would the stock market moves up or down? I would say Dow Jones moves up 1000 points if he dies=)
Public Comments
- I'll settle for him stepping down. That would create a rally--but Cheney would have to go too.
- Neither.
- It would only move up if Cheney goes at the same time.
- Good grief, George Bush, alive or dead, has no control over the stock market.
- It'll drop like a stone. Why? Because it'll plunge us into uncertainty. The market doesn't like uncertainty. It has nothing to do with Bush himself, it would happen with the untimely death of any sitting president.
- It would go up, Dick Cheney would be president. All hail Halliburton.
- It would probably go down. The death of a president would trigger a lot of fear and uncertainty about the future, causing stocks to drop.
- If there's one thing the markets hate, its uncertainty, and the death of any President would lead to a period of uncertainty. The markets would certainly go down.
- who knows
- Some people are without money or the brains to save money. Those who would rejoice over the death of a human are not invested in the market. People with the maturity to save for their future are in the market. The market will drop. Big time.
- since his term is almost up it pretty much wouldn't matter anyways it would flucuate on it's own anyhow
- Minor flucuation downward, maybe on the order of .08%. The President's status is largely irrelevant unless tied to other factors, such as the manner of death (nuked in D.C.) or the timing of his death (immediately before or after an election, i.e. October or December). A death alone would not have much impact. It would go down based on uncertainty in the market as to who would assume control. Once Cheney landed from his orbital battle station the masses would know everything would be just fine and business could continue.
- It will fall like a rock.. start looking for some downward movement if the Dems take the White House... The threat of higher taxes and repelling the Bush tax breaks will also have an effect. what a horrible question.....
- What do you mean, "if" President Bush dies? Certainly he will die. As to what the market will do, I have no way of knowing where the market will be in another 30 years. I am thinking if President Bush dies 30 years from now, the market will not move in either direction due to his death.
