Altogether, 4 of the above 5 US States have both of their US Senators being Democrats. The other State Indiana has one Republican and one Democratic Senator.
It's pretty clear to me that the US stock market in the next two years has a much better chance of being much higher under a US Senate controlled by the Democrats than one controlled by the Republicans. Profits of US Businesses and a rising US Stock Market have resulted from and will continue to result from a very effective Trifecta of President Obama, a Democratic Majority US Senate and Janet Yellen heading the US Fed.....you need all three of these or else the three-legged stool drops precipitously. Smart New York money is keenly aware of this.
Next up.....#6 through #15 highest.
More details to come.
