Wall Street in Trouble?
Posted on Monday, April 14th, 2008 | In Politics & Your MoneyThere seems to be a general agreement among Democratic politicians that no matter what solution we come up with to issues in the economy, Wall Street will be heavily regulated for some time. The approach is to do as much as possible to prevent an enormous crash, because even doing too much is better than doing not enough. An excerpt from this US News and World Report article elaborates on the sentiment.
“Wall Street is not in a position to negotiate right now and won’t be for quite some time,” says economic analyst Ed Yardeni. “It’s clear there will be a lot more regulation constricting Wall Street’s ability to conduct the kind of financial engineering they have used over the last several years.”
We at electionstocks may need to take into account a general decline in the value of the market when we do analysis on potentially impacted stocks in the future.
