The Reagan years were pretty good for investors as well.
Clinton years were tremendous! After the hullabaloo about the Clinton indiscretions, one of my uncles clued me in that the activities in the White House meant nothing except in how they affected what was going on my house. The Light dawns. Whatever Trump is doing to, for or about anything else, if it's good for me, that's what I'm looking for.
In the Reagan years, Reagan made moves to get out of the way of business.
In the Clinton years, the .com business was evolving faster than government could react to cripple it.
I remember with amusement my reaction to seeing a visiting manager take a laptop out of his brief case. I could not have been more surprised if he had pulled out a live octopus.
Clinton provided some serious help in inflating the real estate bubble. Bush managed to get nothing done to restrain the ill effects.
Anyway, I wish Reagan had been sharper at the end of his tenure, that Clinton had better control over his urges, that Bush was a better speaker and budget manager and that Obama did not abuse the powers of the office, was less divisive and was a better budget manager.
Nobody's perfect.
