Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
'The ballot box is important, but your investment goals, dreams and aspirations are more important. So stay diversified, stick with your plan and it won’t matter who gets elected in November. You can still be a winner.'
The only difference this time is the pendulum could swing hard from pro to anti-business. But I generally agree to stay the course. Something will trigger a market downturn at some point in time.
just can't fathom what you mean --- what would that consist of? closing tax loopholes? ending tariffs? reinstating safety and health and enviro regs? carbon taxation? what?

Re:“What do you do after Nov election”: I wasn’t going to comment on this one - idiotic as the title sounds. But I’d like to point out that JohnN did not copy/paste the full title of the article (and he should have).
Here’s the full title: Ken Morris: What will you elect to do with your investments after November?
That puts a different emphasis on the question - namely identifying the article as somewhat investment related. But I still think it’s an idiotic concept. The global economy will grind on, far outlasting any one candidate or ideology. @Mark is spot-on that one shouldn’t feel obligated to do anything with their investments either in anticipation of or as a result of the election. Stick to the plan.

Drink, as usual. Because I don't plan to touch my investments much if any after an election (as usual, too.)

BTW: Here’s what the “experts” were predicting about one month before the last Presidential election: https://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-wall-street-effect-markets-230164
