Abstract
Many factors influence the trading prices of securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Politicians, both Democratic and Republican, decide on an array of policies and tax laws that have a substantial affect on all areas of the market. In addition to this, as the economist John Maynard Keynes correctly predicted, government policies such as spending can have an enormous impact on the welfare of the economy.
