Majority of experts surveyed by CNNMoney said Romney would do more for economy than Obama

Economists reluctantly pick Romney [cnn.com]

Quote : NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Economists think Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would be better for the economy than President Obama. But they're not very enthusiastic about either of them. Nine of 17 top economists surveyed by CNNMoney picked Romney when asked who's election would help the economy grow more. Only three picked Obama.

Quote : "Obama doesn't really understand business and Romney doesn't really understand how to govern. So pick your poison," said Gary Rosenberger of EconoPlay, one of those surveyed who refused to give a pick. And many of those picking Romney were more critical of, as opposed to excited about, the Republican challenger's plans. "Romney's policies would likely be less bad for the economy than Obama's," said Bill Watkins, executive director of the Center for Economic Research and Forecasting at Cal Lutheran University.

Quote : Several of the economists who thought Romney would be better for the economy pointed out what they thought were flaws in Obama's record. These economists felt there is too much regulatory uncertainty hanging over businesses and that gridlock between the White House and Republicans in Congress also is a drag on hiring and growth.

Quote : "Romney might be more likely to get Congress to do something, whereas Obama has shown he can't," said David Wyss, a fellow at Brown University.

Regulatory uncertainty??? no examples needed i guess.

Also gridlock between white house and republicans in congress.. seeing as the democrats are utterly spineless and far too bipartisan for their own good ill give you a hint as to who is gridlocking the system (its the people who did not give one vote for the ACA despite grid locking it for year+).

The federal reserve will pump it to infinity if they can. And the current admin will just sit by. No different than the GOP'ers. RP would of course have bernanke undergoing a full court press.

I'm sure they picked America's top economists. Everyone knows Gary Rosenberger, right?

that's a pretty high estimate.. I was thinking 15k, but regardless I'm out come 2013 depending on what's going on w/ the new tax structure. If the market is booming (which I doubt it), maybe I'll hop back in..

Imagine every top person having long term gains.. Their new tax rate is 8.8% higher in 2012 vs. 2013. So wouldn't you sell everything prior to 2013? You can't just by the position back either.. you have to wait 3 months.

Now regarding dividends they're still unsure.. it was supposed to go to some ridiculous number like 38% which would cause all people to bail on dividend based investments. Probably even stop companies from paying dividends.. Now democrats are drafting something to max it at 23.8% (instead of today's 15%).

I can only see 2013 being a stock market catastrophe is Obama is in term.
