I personally benefit by voting Trump (tax break for the top earners) but I'm also thinking beyond that to 'future sustainment' and investment opportunities in the new era we're approaching. Hillary is the smart safe choice will provide status quo stability to the financial markets. Trump's lack of knowledge and volatility would cause an instability that would cause speculators to go wild with an ensuing market collapse. I'm not voting for that.
Hillary may not be as Colin Powell said a transformative figure but she's the safe bet.
One more thing, the only "ball" Hillary keeps moving, is her own, she could give tow goods
FYI - I once met Colin Powell and he's a brilliant man. His personal views on Hillary and Trump was spot on.

Wait and see how great your portfolio is when China pulls in the notes, like the guy with 100,000 dollar line of credit, when the bank comes calling, he don't feel so rich, in fact I'll bet he feels broke just like America will feel/be.
Also, I heard just today that the Fed is now going against Yellen and wants to raise the interest rates, my suspicion along with many economists, is the market will take a dive like nothing you have ever seen before. So I do hope Mr Chapel you have money in real estate (usually I would also say bonds, because when the market goes down, the bond market usually sustains a portfolio, not so this time, the big boys, cities, counties and states will walk out on those IOU's in a New York minute).
One more buttress this country has right now, is the overseas market of real estate buyers, they are not Americans, In Florida alone 85 % of all real estate sales are to out of country buyers. I just sold an apt building in March, guess who bought it, people from India. Not one American even looked at it, in fact "they" didn't look themselves, (heck I'm continuing as property manager, make money and not spend a dime, what a deal as everything is already in place) all their doing is looking to place their money where the dollar is cheap, and due to the quantitative easing, our dollar is very cheap.
Just be very careful of your so called "status quo", it can change (and will) on a dime, no matter who is in office.
