A Trump win, good for Astro gear ?

So the usd might be taking a nose dive if Trump wins. Could be a good time to pick up some cheap Astro gear

Aussie dollar has already fallen on anticipation of his win. Don't see why the US dollar would fall. It might but nothing is guaranteed. He may be seen as someone who can turn around their debt problem so the Aussie dollar may fall.

Clear case of under estimating someone.
I said very early not to underestimate him just because he says outrageous things.
He knew any publicity is good publicity and those who wrote him off failed to understand that.
Hopefully he has proved he is a good politician and can now go back on his promises and get on with some rational plan he has for all of us.
I think they got what they deserved.
Great show millions spent and next the lawyers...recount revolution war depression same old same old.

Cheaper astro gear is always good but surely Trump can't win, be another sad day in world history if he does.......I think of Stephan Kings The dead zone with Trump going for the presidency.

Don't worry some of us may survive.
Its all part of the plan.
There is too much money in the world.
The powers need to create some poverty so the struggle is spread over the mob.
Seriously don't worry what could go wrong.

Well so much for opinion polls, they are just worthless, when you consider the poll predictions of Brexit and forecasting a Clinton win.

Trump did promise a 45% tariff on Chinese imports, that would suggest many scopes will increase in price significantly in the US or through US retailers. How will JOC and Synta respond if faced with a tariff? Explore Scientific is owned by JOC, it is just a branding operation. GSO is Taiwanese, will Trump see them as Chinese? Astrotech USA is again a branding business. This will take some time to play out.
