$ICLN - The Biden Presidency Barometer?

Macro Perspectives: Mon 9 Nov 2020

As the hallmark of a Biden presidency would likely be the transformation of the U.S. economy, via the Green New Deal, let's take a look at some stocks that would benefit.

As a spoiler, they've already benefited, dramatically. Clearly there has been a lot of confidence, since the onset of covid, in the election outcome we are seeing.

Here's a look at the chart of the biggest clean energy ETF (ICLN), starting with the ETF itself:

The Biden Plan calls for a "100% clean energy economy" and "net-zero emissions no later than 2050." He would need an aligned Congress to get funding for such a massive "change the economy" undertaking.

And he might get it, given Georgia Senate races are going to a run-off.

But his plan also says he would take Executive Action, day one, to ramp up regulations and efficiency standards. Either way you look at it, the cost of living would go UP - prices going UP.
