Outlook for ADM...?

Outlook for ADM, you ask? That's a lay up... ADM's valuation in the stock market is a function of who's in the White House. Let the numbers speak for themselves. The market value of ADM has increased 276% since George Bush has been in the White House.

That's even better than Bush's father, during whose term in the White House (1988 - 1992) ADM increased 208% in market value, however, Bush-the-Elder achieved his 200% gain for ADM in only 4 years...!

Given ADM's close commercial alliances with the Federal Government, think ethanol, there will always be government business. Under Bill Clinton, the market value of ADM also increased, but a lesser, 22%.

CONCLUSION: If the Republicans win in November, BUY ADM.
