The opening segment of NFTRH 212 did what an unbiased financial
writer probably should not do and discussed politics. Then 24 pages of
straight analysis followed.
Financial writers far and wide are weighing in on the US Presidential
election result and its implications. So jumping into the ring, here
are mine.
For the third cycle in a row I cast a protest vote. After voting for George Bush in 2000 (actually it was more a vote against
Al Gore) I wrote in Ron Paul in 2004 and 2008. This year I voted for
Gary Johnson, although I do not consider myself a Libertarian. I
consider myself an independent who has long since been alienated from a
two party system that looks a lot like dangerously competitive cartoons
from opposite ends of a narrowly constructed ideological spectrum.
