If Romney had won, it would have been easy. Invest in a basketful of 30 companies starting with Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo. With Obama it is a little more difficult given the top contributors: University of California , Microsoft Corp, Google Inc, US Government, Harvard University. Note: The organizations themselves did not donate, rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families.
