October 2016: Who Will Be President?
By Larry C. Paxton
During the first part of October stock exchanges were mostly positive. But during the second half of the month there was an increasingly negative tone, mostly related to the US Presidential Race. Out of 21 trading days the DJIA and S&P500 had 7 gain days and 14 loss days. The NASDAQ showed the widest variability with 8 days positive, 13 days negative. October 11 saw a change of -1.54% based on earnings reports and down oil prices. The other extreme was October 24, up 1.00% based on some big merger/acquisition deals. The longest gain streaks for all 3 exchanges was 2 days, the DJIA longest loss streak was 2 days but both the NASDAQ and S&P500 had 5 day loss streaks that ended the month, caused primarily by the tightening of the US Presidential Race and the increasing uncertainty over who will win.
The PBR1000 companies in The Top 5 Tables had an emphasis on energy related companies, some planning to emerge from bankruptcy soon, and mostly from the 2nd half of The PBR1000.
