I've always admired the CNBC commentators' ability to steer clear of controversial political topics and focus on the quantitative aspects of the markets. To paraphrase Jim Cramer, "I am not a Democrat or a Republican when it comes to investing. My goal is to make you money." The data supports this philosophy.
According to a BlackRock analysis, "U.S. stocks have risen regardless of which party holds the White House." See the chart below and reference the full article here.
Staying clear of politics in 2024 is probably good social etiquette as well - if you want to keep the half of your friends or family who disagree with you. On the other hand, if you'd like to trim your holiday list dramatically, tell everyone who you are voting for :)
What's your strategy for keeping politics in or out of your business and personal life?
Call me to discuss, or let's meet at one of our upcoming Featured Conferences. We're welcoming a new event to our growing fall lineup: The Spartan Capital Investor Conference 2024, which will be held on November 4th at The Pierre Hotel in NYC.
