So with the upcoming election of Hillary will there again be a movement of guns and ammo makers/retailers as the gun nuts go on a buying spree?

Literally any event will cause a buying spree among gun nuts.

Gun Manufacturer's Stocks rose more than 5% in one day from:

- The 1994 Assault Weapon ban passing
- The 1994 assault weapon ban expiring
- Sandy Hook
- Obama being elected
- Obama being re-elected
- George W. Bush being re-elected
- When a Gun control bill was proposed after Virginia Tech
- When the same gun control bill never passed

Try to find a pattern.

Certain American's will take any excuse to buy a weapon.

Because they know, they can always find someone or some gun store to buy it off of them for some quick cash.

I have a Norinco, decked to the walls and back, with all sorts of TactiLOL gear on it, for less than 200 bucks.

My favorite time to go shopping is roughly 6 months after a big gun control panic - around the time that all these idiots who bought tons of $1k+ rifles on their credit cards start missing their payments and need to sell them for a third of what they paid.

Where would you go to find a good deal like that? And are we talking stuff like hunting rifles or just more glamorous pistols and the like?

Gun stores for me.

Most stores don't care on the final price, they are just looking for a %.

Some guy comes in with his bunch of stuff, that his old lady is making him get rid of and he'll take anything.

Paid for the aforementioned Norinco mak-90, $200.

M-1 Garand, 400.

People will literally spend thousands of dollars, they don't have, on weapons. Just to sell them back at a tenth of the cost.

It's all, right place right time.

Jesus, the amount of 1911's I could have purchased and resold in my lifetime alone.

Local shops, word of mouth, couple different classifieds. Helps to live in a state that doesn't give a poo poo about guns. Bought my father a really nice Sig Sauer rifle for a retirement present for about half of retail and an XDM that he'll get for Christmas. Guy practically threw the handgun into the deal to get an extra hundred bucks out of me. Pretty sad.

Man when Obama was re-elected I was selling cans of .223 that I had paid $80 for on Craigslist for $350 a pop. I know another guy who had just gotten a Wharton MBA. Prior to the election he and a few friends formed a company, took out a loan and bought as much ammo as they could afford to resell after. If I remember right, when all was said and done, they cleared about 30 grand per person.

I'm looking for a simple market watching app. I get some stock from my company, but I also get it in another currency, so I'd like to be able to see the value of the stock converted to my currency. I don't know anything about trading, and these are the first shares I have, so nothing too complex.

I hear people say things like I'm in x% cash, and I wonder what they mean. Do you have 15% of your total assets in cash, or are you saying that 15% of your trading account is cash?

Even if you are correct, which I do not; buying into a stock because of who wins a presidential election is probably a bad idea.

That is not a chart of energy stocks and presidential elections showing a correlation, VendaGoat.

The point here is that you shouldn't just cherry-pick one possible factor that could affect a stock (or industry) and then ignore any and all other factors. You also shouldn't just pick a factor out of your rear end and then assume it will matter without testing that idea by looking for actual evidence or facts.

Finally, you have to show some kind of reason why Hillary's near-inevitable win and the corresponding support by the white house for clean energy programs isn't already factored into the stock prices.
