To put things in perspective, Edelman Financial Engines conducted a study examining market performance under different political parties. The results are eye-opening:

• If Americans invested only when a Democrat was president, starting in 1948: $10,000 would have grown to $1,200,696.
• If invested only when a Republican was president over the same period: $10,000 would have grown to $309,811.
• If they stayed invested the entire time, regardless of which party controlled the White House: $10,000 would have grown to $37,198,830.

In other words, if people would’ve steadily invested across administrations, they’d be in a far better financial position.

I just found this interesting. I cannot find much on how they came to these numbers, if it is just the DJI or all markets or what have you.

Till then, have a great day.

Try measuring from election day to election day. The market cares about who will be President, not lame ducks.

I am sure that by next week the MAGA cult will be saying yet again how bad the markets do under the Dems.

I gave up trying to diagnose the markets a long time ago. Every time I think I figured it out I get proven wrong. Lol
