In this episode, Bryan Kuderna discusses investing in an election year. He provides an overview of the current political landscape and its potential impact on the stock market. Kuderna also explores the historical performance of the stock market during election years and highlights the influence of the Federal Reserve. He concludes by offering insights and considerations for investors in the coming months. * Investors have seen positive returns in 20 out of 24 election years. * The average election year return when a Republican wins the White House has been 15.3%, compared to 9% when a Democrat wins. * Presidents seeking reelection often take actions to pump up the stock market, such as fiscal stimulus and pro-growth regulation. * The Federal Reserve has been active in election years, with rate hikes or cuts occurring in every election year since 1980. * A crashing stock market is challenging for a sitting president to win reelection. * Investors should keep an eye on the stock market and consider the potential impact of political and economic factors in the coming months.
