  | By this time next week, we should know what the next phase of the U.S. government will look like after Tuesday’s midterm elections.
My colleagues Matt Clark and Charles Sizemore each took their turn handicapping the potential winners… Market winners, that is.
Matt explained that the stock market as a whole tends to perform well under gridlock.
When a Democratic president is in the White House and Republicans control at least one half of Congress, the S&P 500 has returned a healthy 13%. Investors are comfortable with a middle-of-the-road, divided government that can’t push too far in either direction.
Charles discussed the outlook for the bond market.
The last time we had a Democratic president and Republican Congress was during Barack Obama’s presidency. And that was about the most dysfunctional our government has ever been, with perpetual fights over the debt ceiling and government shutdowns.
But one benefit of that chaos was that it kept a lid of sorts on government spending and helped to shrink the budget deficit. If we get a repeat of that going forward, it should be good for bonds.
Today, I want to dig deeper into a specific sector that may benefit from Tuesday’s outcome.

There's only ONE STOCK (priced at just under $2) that could be $20 and STILL be a bargain.
It brought in more income — including equity sales — in the last 12 months than Disney, Square or Tesla.
But a key announcement in December could send this stock rocketing skyward (and you could miss your chance ... FOREVER). | |
Chart of the Day The headline was attention-grabbing:
“BP rakes in quarterly profit of $8.2 billion as oil majors post another round of bumper earnings.”
CNBC was reporting on BP PLC’s (NYSE: BP) third-quarter earnings.
A profit of more than $8 billion in just three months sounds like a lot of money.
In the quarter, BP wasn’t the oil company to make money: - Shell posted a quarterly profit of $9.5 billion.
- Chevron earned $11.2 billion.
- Exxon reported a profit of $19.7 billion.
The eye-popping numbers caught the attention of investors and politicians.
