Investors could start getting worried if polls prove correct and Bernie Sanders emerges as the winner in the IowaCaucuses.

If the left-leaning candidate gains momentum and wins Iowa and other primary battles, strategists say market volatility could pick up.

Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders speaks to supporters and volunteers at a campaign field office in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, February 2, 2020.Iowa's Democratic presidential caucuses Monday are a step toward narrowing the far-flung field of candidates, and investors could start getting worried if polls prove correct and Bernie Sanders emerges as the winner.

"I think the market really has run up for a lot of reasons, but they clearly have been pricing in a Trump re-election," said Lori Calvasina, chief U.S.equity strategist at RBC. "The betting markets are sending a positive signal on Sanders right now. The big sort of shift in trend is Bernie."

The 1% should be worried, their total lack of social consciousness has resulted in the worst income inequality this country has ever seen. Their days of living off the backs of a wage starved 99% are coming to an end. Their greed is only surpassed by their hubris.

Investors should be worried about the value of their assets being wiped out by climate change.

Suicide for your retirement plan, pension, or IRA voting for Sanders.

Everyone relax...

support of this CONman weasel is a sad statement on the current state of the education system as it relates to youth...

Midnight Nov 9, 2016:

He will not win the election

It’s Communism after 2020!

Cool. So, the moment he's elected he'll crash everyone's retirement accounts. He's got my vote!

They should be worried

Trump will use Sanders to mop up the floor.

He would be horrible for the economy.

it’s totally insane if the Dow is down 200 points on that news in the morning

No, actually Dems should be the ones worried, because a shift to socialism will likely mean that they not only lose another presidential election, but they’ll probably get swept from Congress as well. Socialism undermines what has built the strongest economy in history.

Also....didn’t you say the same shit about Trump?

Not if your investing in marijuana stocks

Can anybody else win, really?

Let them get nervous. They may actually have to invest in new companies, instead of piggybacking stock buybacks.

I don’t think so. I think it will provide investors a level of Assurance that our democracy is in tact. speculative

Investors are parasites.

But the numbers of 2016 he doesnt have ..

Walk Street will make money no matter who is president or which party controls congress. Just re-allocate the stocks.

Ya think 😭😂😍😂

Bernie will never be Potus ever, I’ll bet 1000 shares of Apple on that lol

CaucusForYang 🥂

True Dems will not vote for Sanders... They'll neither vote for Trump... Dem's low voter turnout, will lose house. Instead of trying to remove realDonaldTrump they shoulda worked on a better candidate and platform. SpeakerPelosi screwed up. Lost control to the socialists.

“Comrade Bernie wins Iowa, boss”....”caramba...bonito, ja ja ja lol 😂 “

I wouldn’t lose any sleep. It’s the hype machine.

noooooo, not Bernie............

God forbid the rich have to share with the poor. What is the world coming to. Without the wealthy will we survive? Hell yes!

Hey - check out what your app is saying...

No!! Not Bernie

Way togoBernie. Take America to a new frontier

Good! I love buying cheap stocks from scared Republicans!

Bernie in the hood you

Good thing those 'investors' when they cast their votes it has the same value as everyone else. One Citizen one vote. Where they are going to take their money, China or Russia?

Worried about what? Bernie beating realDonaldTrump? BAHA. BAHA

Dump it

fear me for am Bernie sanders I bathe in the tears of billionaires and the one percent

Bernie is proposing a series of policies with zero hope of getting anywhere near Congress, let alone implemented. Isnt a vote for that similar to those who voted for Trump when he promised to have Mexico pay for the wall?

Wait a minute! Bills have to pass the House & Senate! Before the president signs or rejects. And this small group doesn’t determine the rest of us!

Corrupt and greedy investors are scared. Good. BERNIE2020

GET SCARED MFERS!!!!!!

Blah blah blah, none of his policies will happen, he’s not a king

TheDemocrats Guess what.. Ya F$CKED!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol! Because you say so?

Lol the stock market has bigger things to worry about. If they're spooked they can move to Wuhan and wait it out there

More bullshit scare tactics by the establishment 🙄

Why... becuz he's not SELFISH n GREEDY?

And they’d be very wrong. BuyTheBern
