THE TRUMP EFFECT : U.S. Small-Business Optimism Index SURGES! (Most Since 1980)

The Trump Effect is in full swing as small businesses are clearly pleased that a pro-capitalist tycoon will be taking over a President after nearly 8 long years of a community organizer / freshman senator with no private sector success.

An October poll found Trump the clear favorite for business owners. Optimistic small business owners means more U.S. jobs!

From Bloomberg

Optimism among America’s small businesses soared in December by the most since 1980 as expectations about the economy’s prospects improved dramatically in the aftermath of the presidential election.

The National Federation of Independent Business’s index jumped 7.4 points last month to 105.8, the highest since the end of 2004, from 98.4. While seven of the 10 components increased in December, 73 percent of the monthly advance was due to more upbeat views about the outlook for sales and the economy, the Washington-based group said.

The share of business owners who say now is a good time to expand is three times the average of the current expansion, according to the NFIB’s data. More companies also said they plan to increase investment and keep hiring, which reflects optimism surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s plans of spurring the economy through deregulation, tax reform and infrastructure spending.

“We haven’t seen numbers like this in a long time,” Juanita Duggan, president and chief executive of the NFIB, said in a statement. “Small business is ready for a breakout, and that can only mean very good things for the U.S. economy. Business owners are feeling better about taking risks and making investments.”
