Assets
likely to be held by private investors include: cash in
bank deposits, securities (such as shares issued by private
companies,
and government or corporate bonds), property,
insurance policies, foreign currencies, cars, art
and antiques.
They include: (1) regulatory law
and enforcement work, because industries from
banking to private equity funds to large oil
companies will
likely be targets of the new administration, while health
insurance companies will be subject to heightened regulation; (2) litigation, because a Democratic administration will probably push back tort reform measures, giving rise to more lawsuits; (3) «green» law, i.e., representing
companies that deal in green technology, whose growth will be stimulated by
likely tax incentives as well as a cap
and trade system;
and (4) real estate, because the bailout legislation will most
likely require
banks availing themselves of the benefits to begin issuing mortgages again.
