In general I’ve always agreed. I had friends and family on Bay Street so happy about it, as well as American friends.  I don’t wanna say they were wrong but I work for a very large international company and our view was dead opposite.  Simply put Trump is bad for business. 

That said when you look at the market makers they are more likely to have first mover options and insight to these changes first.  From their perspective money doesn’t leave the market it just moves, so if they get the chance to move the money to the right places first they win big.  This is why I think Wall Street always wants a regime change.
