Our
nation’s dialogue is drumming red, white, and blue as we continue to
draw closer to November 8th. Our upcoming election has prompted plenty
of debate across several avenues, including how the outcome might affect
our investments. It seems that even during family dinner, it is hard to
break away from the clatter of opinions. So, how are we supposed to
find solace in the middle of a heated presidential campaign?
Answer: Pause
and consider . . . because your investment return is not determined by
whether we have a Democrat or Republican in the White House. Sure, this
is easier said than done! While there is cJanita thisonstant rhetoric
around elections, it is important to ask yourself two things:
- Do you remember the past elections affecting the performance of your investments over the long run?
- Does your experience reflect an investment return that was different whether a Democratic or Republican president was in office?
This
is not the first time our economy has adjusted to a new president and
it certainly won't be the last. We encourage you to please let your
goals determine your actions, not the current president's political
affiliation. However, if you are struggling to make sense of this in
regards to your investments, please know that we are here for you. Just
reach out to our trained specialists at advisors@selahfs.com.
In times like these, it helps to recall there have always been times like these.”
