A Democratic Blue Wave Guarantees Nothing for Pot Stocks

It's safe to say that it's been a crazy year. We've watched the stock market plunge faster than ever before, as well as roar back quicker than it has in decades from a bear market low. We've also witnessed negative oil prices (for a very brief time), a record spike in the unemployment rate, and are working our way through an unprecedented pandemic.

And, oh yeah, we have an election coming up in just over three months that has the potential to completely shake up the direction the U.S. takes over the next couple of years. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for election, along with a third of all Senate seats, and the big chair in the White House.

As you can imagine, there are a number of major issues expected to grab the spotlight during this election season. The ongoing response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, how to reignite the U.S. economy, and job creation, are all topics bound to get plenty of attention.
