Strategy A: Hunting the Bump
This historical bulls will point out that the ruling party loves to sprinkle policy sugar all over the economy in late summer & early autumn. They would do anything to make voters feel wealthy going into the booths.
Breaking news: Trump is weighing a major massive investor tax break: indexing Capital Gains Tax to inflation & expanding exemptions for primary home sales.
If this happens, the stock market is likely to go up.
Strategy B: Wait for November stretch
Ignore the political theatre entirely & wait for the post November clearing when there is more certainty in the market. The market does not like uncertainty. Regardless who wins, a massive wave of relief would sweep through the market.
No matter what happens I will stay invested as the market tends to go up long term.
