Waiting to Invest Until After the Election? Here's Why You Shouldn't
With the presidential election looming, many people are wondering when's the right time to add to their personal stock portfolios. If you've been holding off on buying stocks because you're assuming you're better off doing so after the election, you may want to rethink that plan. Here's why.
It's true that the results of the election could shift stock values downward, but we can't bank on that happening. What we do know, however, is that major market indexes like the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average are closing out the month of September lower than where they started it. This dip means that you may have a prime opportunity to buy affordable stocks now. If you wait, that opportunity might disappear.
