That doesn't boost stock prices. Stock prices are entirely based on the confidence of investors displayed through buying and selling stocks, and if anything, this rule would decrease the confidence of investors.

O/T: I'd be interested in seeing a more...reputable source for this. Given how many things have been made up about both candidates over this election cycle and the fact that I can't find a single source for this claim besides the..."Financial Times," I'm a little skeptical about this until we see something like the NYT or the WSJ reporting this.

It's not a secret, he campaigned openly on deregulation, there should be nothing surprising about this at all. "Financial Times" is like 130 years old, it's not some small paper rag too, lol. 

Two things.

Firstly, campaigning on a platform that would make support for a policy believable is not equivalent to showing that a candidate supports said policy. For instance, Hillary Clinton supports increased US intervention in Syria, but does not support putting American troops in Syria. I'm not saying that him supporting the policy would be surprising, just that I want more evidence of it before I believe that this is, in fact, the case.

Secondly, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for multiple sources, especially in an election season when we have had so many reports turn out to be false (such as when ABC incorrectly reported that members of the Obama staff had edited out key portions of Benghazi related emails in order to make them look better for Clinton). I find it somewhat striking that a United Kingdom based publication would have picked up on this story while, from what I can tell, literally no American source has.
