Ep. 40 – What this election year means for your investment portfolio

The financial markets are well known to cause some stress and anxiety, but this escalates even more during a Presidential election. Especially this one which is likely to bring out emotions from both sides. As a result, I felt called to do this episode to provide some facts about how Presidential elections impact the stock market.

I hope you enjoy this episode! Make sure to share it with a friend or family member who might find it helpful! I want to impact as many people as possible with this message!

Thank you!

***Just a footnote here. I mentioned I was recording on video, which I did…However, I do not have time to edit this video in time for the next episode. I am currently working on hiring an editor, and will hopefully be adding video as a feature to tune into the show soon enough!
