Stocks have typically thrived under legislative gridlock in Washington, and a split Congress has historically been the best scenario for investors.

A possible explanation is that a majority of recent economic expansions have ended under GOP administrations. For instance, ten of the past 11 recessions started while a Republican was in the White House. The one exception was President Jimmy Carter.

Conventional wisdom would suggest that a Democratic sweep would be negative for markets, especially for heavily regulated industries, but further economic pain could demand more fiscal support from Washington, Raymond James said. That could help boost economic growth. Investors selling just prior to President Obama taking office would have missed out on a 26% total return year in 2009 and the kickoff to the second strongest bull market in history, according to data from SunTrust Private Wealth Management. And investors selling just prior to President Trump taking office would have missed out on a 22% return in 2017, the figures showed.

In a blue wave sweep, the U.S. can expect corporate tax increases, continued fiscal relief and spending, along with health care and technology regulation, Raymond James analysts said. In this scenario, cyclical stocks tied to the economy's possible expansion would outperform, helped by fiscal stimulus , according to Raymond James.
