RE:RE:why the down trendRusty - did you see the additional commentary in TD, which had an article by David Berman on this theme. His general point was that alt energy stock prices are dictated by things other than the political cycle. His analysis of past patterns (up during Trumpian times of 2016-20) then down during Biden' time (2020-24). The latter was largely an interest rate effect caused by need to decrease inflation. So even though that may explain the past, the more important question.is the future. If the argument that interest rates are the important driver is indeed the dominant effect then price will rise. If argument that a Trumpian administration won't favour alt energy is correct or that interest rates don't decline further then prices will stay low. I'm skeptically hopeful of the former. TD also had another article by David Rosenberg who pointed out that any Trumpian effects on inflation and therefore Fed interest rate responses won't come into play until ~2026 (his timing not mine) so that does give at least some time over which interest rates can still decline, which should lead to an price increase for NPI and others in the utility sector. Will have to see how it all plays out.
