Thanks for that, pd- I hadn't thought of it, or known that a share crisis can happen around the US elections- something to watch for. I have read not too much about those elections, but I reckon a status quo is coming up- for a range of reasons unrelated to the incumbent. It seems the new fellow has stuffed it a bit.
From your knowledge/recollection, is there more upheaval in the share market if the status quo remains (for whatever side of politics), or if a new government gets in?
