Chart of the Month
Staying invested in the stock market over the long term, regardless of political shifts, can greatly benefit investors. Allowing political biases to influence investment decisions can lead to missed opportunities and lower returns. Focusing on longer-term outcomes and avoiding the temptation to time investment decisions around elections can help investors overcome market volatility and achieve better financial outcomes.
