Short term with the financial markets its all about perception. A lot of people predicted a mass sell off if Trump were to win, its a relief that it didn't happen. Asia has now bounced back overnight too. We all suffer when the markets are hit. In the longer term I always thought Trump would be good for business in the US, no issues there. He will make the US stronger in business internationally, of that I have no doubt. In the long term socialism makes a country weak in terms on international competitiveness, the future will be interesting.
