How is the election going to affect the stock market? 

It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on, there's a lot of fear concerning the election and how it will affect the stock market.

There are also a lot of articles circulating right now discussing how the market will perform depending on which party is in office or will it be better for the market if the incumbent candidate wins?

There are all kinds of stories and speculation out there right now, but here's what I can tell you, nobody knows exactly what's going to happen with the market. Anyone who tells you that they do know is lying. That's the truth of it.
