Regulatory Actions Lead to Potential Opportunities: Trading To Benefit from Government Intervention
The government is playing an increased role in everything. We the people are now the proud new owners of Obama Motors. The government is playing an increasing role in running the banks and they are holding interest rates artificially low. The new health care proposal, termed “Obama Care,” could drastically increase the budget deficit and lower the standards of health care. And more recently they have proposed increased regulation of the commodity futures markets. History shows us that the policy of the government running everything usually does not bode well for an economy. In an environment like this, investors might consider how they can benefit from this move away from capitalism so that they can protect and profit from excessive government regulation and intervention.
