and there are many people who hate him. How do you think they will react once he's won?

I guess the same way people who hated Obama reacted when he won?
Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, and that guy with bad teeth who keeps reminding us it's the current year will be able to snark for another four years.

Just as Brext caused a market crash and value of British pound to decline. US Stock market will crash and dollar value will decline. One can make a fortune under such conditions. I truly hate selling stocks short and on occasion I just have no other choice. With Trump? One slip of his mouth and its going to be more than comedy can handle.

Why would US stock decline? The pound dropped because the UK voted to leave a real economic union.

Investors in USA n most of the world are totally paranoid about market stability. Look up Janet Yelling - American economist. She is the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Her speech's have microscopes zeroed in for the nano hint of a interest increase. When a president whispers about some change in a trade deal OUTLOUD - All hell will break loose. A hint of USA going aggressive again a country and market goes wacko quickly.
Mexico even has a cool plan to fuck USA over if Trump were to stop legit people from sending their own money from USA back to Mexico- Trumps latest plan on forcing Mexico to pay for a wall.
Mexico does not even need us as a trading partner We need Mexico. They could just close their borders to food traffic and ship everything off to China and other parts of hungry Asia.
tl;dr
Loose lips sink ships.
Doubt any federal court is going to allow any person in power to tell you or I how we can use our own money (except of course if we use it to hire bad people to do something with our money)

Was this the same Federal Reserve that totally failed to see the 2008 global financial crisis coming? The Fed can't predict shit.

"The Federal Reserve works in conjunction with other federal and state authorities to ensure that financial institutions safely manage their operations and provide fair and equitable services to consumers."
Yep a total fuck up - However that said Congress ties Fed R hands with regulations about limits that can be placed. Currently the Republican congress is trying to get Regs in place to force banks to have LESS LESS cash reserves (post the 2008 crash) Repubs want to let banks go thin on cash on hand again.
Nor was it back b4 2008 the FR's job to audit those buggered zero interest home loans.
Now Canada has a law that wood have prevented the 2008 mess. No such thing as LOW or NO Down on a home. It cannot be less than 20% Proof that a person getting a 80% loan has learned to save money for future. In USA everyone is pushed to run up credit card charges -

http://fortune.com/2011/02/01/bernankes-biggest-blunders/ keep in mind Ben Bernanke is Harvard educated, MIT Ph.D and well respected in economics. Said in 2007 subprime was FINE and NOTHING to worry about.
The Fed has never seen a catastrophe coming, not in 1929 not in 2009. The Fed is a false prophet. Predictions about as good as astrology.

> "In truth, making monetary policy work was next to impossible by the time Bernanke took over. The global economy was utterly screwed up."
Of course Bernake had a hand in bad policies
In such a powerful position anyone in that position cannot tell it as it is. More negative news just forces investors to draw out money and send it out of country or park it - Investors are not so much so good at parking money.
Me being a lowcow part time investor just bought more Gold at 2008 Crash - Damn and so many others did as well and drove it sky HIGH.
One of the VERY BEST Things about that Forbes article is - Just imagine with a Ben who was educated and fucked up - How an uneducated Trump wood blow things sky high with a few off the mark comments.
