It makes no difference if you were a Republican or a Democrat, your priority should be to make money for yourself. No one could become wealthy by being nave. True, some people become rich by being at the right place at the right time, often being clueless as to how they became so wealthy. For example, if you were lucky to have become an employee, with stock options, of a company that went public at the right time, you would be a multimillionaire by now. Under those circumstances, you may not even have any clue as to what really happened, while everybody around you thinks that you are a genius. That is the power of the public stock market and if given the opportunity you should do the same.

For the rest who were not that lucky, here is my guess (based on observing trends but not based on any fundamental facts) as to something that you can look to increase your wealth from now till the 2008 presidential elections:

The Republican controlled Federal Reserve Board with the help of Republican controlled media will do all in its power to keep the stock markets up until the elections in 2008 because, I think, this is the major index they use to measure how strong the economy is. In a way they are right, if you equated economic strength to paper wealth (which I think is a false premise), because most of the pension funds and retirement fund money are in the market. (They badly want another a republican administration so they can have another 8 years of welfare for the richest on earth. Considering the amount of wealth they have made thanks to the taxpayers in the last 8 years, another 8 years could make them invincible-more power to you if you can participate in that because that is absolutely the easiest way-to use Machiavellian logic). With upside so huge, according to my calculations, they will do all in their power to hang on to power. And running the markets higher till the elections would be considered a priority. So they will:

1. Create money and dumping off helicopters if necessary.
2. Grant huge government contracts to large corporations, with tax money and borrowing the balance, so there will be increased revenue and increased GDP (another one of those useless indices) to show that we are still growing.
3. Have a parade of pundits in the media saying nothing but good news about the economy sharing banter as opposed to having opposite viewpoints and with the host patting all who thus agree on the back with the compliment: "The Great American".
