We get asked this question about every 4 years, “If [insert candidates name] is elected should we sell our stocks?” And our answer is usually the same, that we believe that the stock market doesn’t usually react to which president is elected to the white house and that the president is just one of many factors that can have an impact on markets.
Below we have pasted a great video that we believe helps show how investors have been rewarded for “staying in their seat” and remaining invested even when things may seem worrysome.
If you are feeling concerned with what is going on politically, give us a call and we can talk through whether your current risk tolerance has changed and warrants changes to your investments.
