I found this quite amazing. Since 1901 would you guess the stock market went up more with a Republican or a Democrat as president?
In fact, more than a century of precedent shows that the stock market tends to gain almost twice as much under Democratic presidents as Republicans. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

It's true: Figures compiled by Ned Davis Research covering the period from March 4, 1901 through Oct. 23, 2006, show annual returns of 7.19 percent under a Democrat president, and 3.85 percent under a Republican.
Not only am I surprised but the size of the difference is is significant.
