Five Minute Finance

Don’t Invest in Election Results


Listen Later

Join Matt Robison and Mike Morton in this week’s episode to explore the common myth that election outcomes can predict stock market performance. They discuss real-life examples, such as the 2016 Trump election and the 2008 Obama election, highlighting how initial market reactions often mislead investors. They emphasize the importance of not overreacting to short-term volatility, noting that global events and market irrationality play a larger role than who's in office. Their key takeaway? Stick to your long-term investment plan, and don’t let election anxiety drive financial decisions.
