Bloomberg reports that if you invested $1000 in an index fund at the beginning of the Kennedy administration and held it in the market only during the 23 years of Democratic administrations since 1961, today your investment would have grown to just under $11000.
If you had made the same $1000 investment at the start of the Nixon years and kept it in the market only during the 28 years of Republican Presidents since "69, today your investmsnt would be worth a bit under $2100.

Another irrelavant post by the pathetic jellyfish.
Hey I am an investor ... but anyone that invests in idex funds need their head examined should hire an investment advisor.
But as archie said, it is meaningless. Look at the Reagan years ... highest growth in the stock market in history.
The decline at the end of Bush was related to a financial crisis created by failed dem policy, fannie and freddie incentives and the federal reserve pumping money to keep a bubble going for the fear of the collapse, and not with Republican policy.
The market oversold as it always does with panic, just like it over buys with greed. Look at the tech bubble that collapsed in 2000 at the end of Clinton. So the recovery in the stock market under obama has nothing to do with obama policy, but rather retracement from being oversold, relief that a plan was put in place in europe, and that things do not look like they are getting worse and will bump along the bottom for a while. So companies can keep employment low, margins high and make a lot of money.
If that makes the dems feel like their failed policies work, they should look back at their own sound bites about employment and deficits under Bush and Reagan. My what we would give for those levels again.
Obama has proposed $2 Trillion in tax increases and his deficit projection still goes up.
Who can say tax and spend democrats. That is why republicans resist ANY tax increases until spending is cut.

Don't remember Apple getting a 535 million dollar loan by the taxpayers and being touted by the POTUS himself. Apple actually produces a product that there is a demand for.

Hey WW, I don't think the political party in the White House has that much to do with the stock averages in the big picture...but I WILL NOT let you get away with such a mis-statement as in your last post..."greatest stock increase in history" under the sainted Ronald Reagan. Nope, not even close! You slopped a bibful this time WW.
Dow Industrial growth from Jan 1, 1981 - Dec 31, 1988 (the Reagan years) up 125%
Dow Industrial growth from Jan 1, 1993 - Dec 31, 2000 (the Clinton years) up 240%
You should occasionally confirm before you pop off WW.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Clinton "reign" during the dot com bubble? Anyone with half a brain could see that the dot com fiasco was doomed to failure because there simply wasn't enough of a customer base to support it. An awful lot of folks got awfully rich off a big fat lie, and Bill Clinton is one of them (maybe not at the time, but the reputation is there and he gets the big bucks for being the one lucky enough to be in power when it happened.).
And remember who was running the House during that era...does the name Newt mean anything to you? The two of them, through their unholy alliance, profited handsomely. All on a lie. All on hysteria associated with getting rich quickly. The smart ones are those who knew it was a lie, made their millions, and got out before the bubble burst.
End of ramble
