Prediction No. 3: Trump 2.0 Should Boost the Oil & Gas Industry
Trump 2.0 is simply a “godsend” for the natural gas industry.

High #2: Market Reaches Record Highs After Trump’s Re-Election
I think that after 'harvesting period' investors will invest more due to the fact that rates will ebb lower and Trump will work wonders in getting more money in peoples pockets.
Investors now even over the age of 60 are still invested in equities, ETFs, CEF, MLP and funds. More monies will seek a higher return that Government Bonds...
First, let’s talk about the Federal Reserve cutting rates. The main goal was to keep inflation at a target rate of 2%. While we never actually got there in 2024, the Fed became increasingly worried about the job market.
