How Does an Election Affect the Stock Market?
November 01, 2016
Although I have no idea who will win and many things are uncertain we do know that every news outlet and everyone you talk to has an opinion. Well you know what they say about opinions…
I can summarize my feelings about the market in one statement; Investors will be better served to avoid any temptation to time the market and not make any significant changes to any long-term plan based on short-term predictions. Unless you feel the stock market is currently at the highest point it will EVER be at right now then you should not try and guess when to buy and when to sell. The S&P 500, since 1950, averages an all time high every 14 days!! I’m guessing you didn’t know that. Over the long run, the market has provided substantial returns regardless of who or which party is in office.
Below is a graph from Dimensional Funds that shows, although there might be buying and selling opportunities on a short term bases, it’s clear that simply because it’s an election the market swings are no more volatile than within the normal variances of day to day trading.
If you have questions, added concerns or thoughts to discuss please give my office a call and let’s talk through those. I realize many people feel a certain way, managing your emotions along with changing market
conditions is a major part of my job.
