FYI: At Barron’s, we try to look beyond any momentary chaos in the markets to anticipate what might move them in the future. So, too, with our coverage of Washington. There was plenty of chaos at Thursday’s Supreme Court nomination hearing, and we don’t expect the turmoil to end before the Nov. 6 midterm elections, or after. Our concern is with the longer-term impact of these historic races—specifically, what the outcomes will mean for the capital markets and investors. The stakes are particularly high in this election season, given America’s tariff battle with China, a growing federal budget deficit, and an aging bull market, not to mention the partisan slugfest consuming the country.

No Stomach for Stock-Market Swings? Consider Stable Value Funds
Increasing volatility and rising interest rates create a double whammy for investors who don’t have time to ride out the inevitable market ups and downs. Stable value funds might be the answer.
For risk-averse investors, there seems to be nowhere to hide these days. High volatility and high valuations make stocks an unsavory option, and bonds don’t look much better in the face of rising interest rates. And cash still pays next to nothing. But if you have a 401(k), you have an oft-overlooked option.
