Does the stock market predict the winner of U.S. presidential elections? Many argue that it does, pointing to the historical correlation between the incumbent party retaining the White House and the stock market’s strength in the months leading up to Election Day in November.
For example, the stock market’s year-to-date strength on Election Day is not correlated with the incumbent party’s chances. Nor is the market’s strength over the eight months leading up to the election. But, strangely, when the focus is on market strength over a period whose length is between these two — specifically, nine months rather than eight or 10 — the result in fact does become statistically significant.

По России бродят слухи, Говорят в церквях старухи. Чинодралы от казны править скоро нашу библию должны! Ах, ядряна вошь христиан мякиной не возьмёшь. Православной боже наш заступись коль осознашь! И поди туды скажи: чисто правду раскажи.Что не гоже обнулять!
