Over the past year, presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren has feuded with a lot of people.
But few of her feuds got as much press as the one she had with Leon Cooperman, chairman and CEO of Omega Advisors.
If you’re not familiar with Cooperman, he is one of the most successful money managers in America. His net worth runs into the billions.
Cooperman is a staunch advocate for free market capitalism and limited government. As you probably know, Warren is not. Warren’s philosophy leans heavily toward government-sponsored socialism… and her way of thinking has gotten her a lot of support.
So it’s no surprise that Cooperman is not a supporter. And he’s had no problem telling Warren exactly how he feels about her wealth tax plan, which includes a 6% tax on anyone with a net worth of $1 billion or more.
Since September, Cooperman and Warren have battled it out via Twitter, interviews, and television. For example, Cooperman appeared on CNBC and talked about the impact a Warren victory would have on the stock market. He quipped that “they won’t open the stock market if Elizabeth Warren is the next president.”
In November, Elizabeth Warren ran a political campaign ad on CNBC about the wealth tax proposal – a direct hit at billionaires who often appear on the network. In particular, she called out Cooperman’s battle with the SEC over insider trading.
After the television ad aired, Cooperman didn’t hold back any punches. He responded by telling CNN Business that Warren is a “superficial, nasty hater who isn’t interested in dealing with facts.”
And these are just a few of Cooperman’s more “professional” remarks!
Here’s the thing for us as investors: Right now, the presidential campaigns are actually quite good for the stock market. This is when candidates run around and promise everything and anything, which tends to boost consumer confidence.
Successful campaigns tap into “outrage” that crosses party lines and draws big crowds. As of now, President Trump and Elizabeth Warren seem to have the most folks’ attention. However, Warren’s “wealth tax” is very unpopular on Wall Street and has received massive criticism.
Some pundits believe Warren is unlikely to get elected president. But in politics, the unlikely happens more often than we expect. That’s why we are keeping an eye on the presidential polls… and thinking ahead to the impact of each election scenario.
Is Leon Cooperman right? Will the stock market suffer a major near-term sell-off if Elizabeth Warren gets elected?
Well, none of us has a crystal ball to foretell the future, but we can look at the facts from past election cycles – and the current climate – and prepare accordingly.
If you want to know what I think is going to happen, join me and my InvestorPlace colleague Louis Navellier on December 10 for our special Early Warning Summit 2020. We will discuss the 2020 presidential election and how it’s going to affect the market and your profits next year. I hope you can make it!
