Under another Trump administration, the future is deeply uncertain. He is a one-move chess player who can’t think ahead.
Former cabinet members who served under him see him as a mercurial bully who makes up and then abruptly changes his mind.
His policies on immigration, tariffs, taxes and debt are inflationary.
On foreign policy, pulling out of Ukraine or the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation could lead to an expansion of Russian influence in the Middle East.
If Israel is seriously threatened, the US might have to put more boots on the ground. The dangers of the law of unintended consequences loom large.
The so-called Trump trades, loosely related to his erratic pronouncements, include oil, bitcoin and defence. They have already gone up in anticipation as have bond yields and gold – reflecting his inflationary policies.
If we apply the 95% confidence interval often used in statistics, this implies that an individual stock’s return could vary by roughly +/- 100% in a given year. This is huge. Essentially, an individual stock could double or lose all its value within 12 months.
Over the long run, 55% of US stocks underperformed US Treasury Bill returns.
The most common outcome for individual stocks was a 100% loss — complete failure.
If returns are largely zero in the short term, highly volatile in the medium term, and risky in the long term, why would anyone invest in stocks?
While the downside for any stock is capped at a 100% loss, the upside is theoretically unlimited.
The long, positive tail is what produces the outsized returns that more than make up for the smaller, frequent losses.
