@ChrisInSalemMA Markets often price in expected policy before inauguration, not just current conditions. Same fundamentals Monday, but future tax plans can move things early.
@DonaldGoines77 Politics aside, markets don't move on who wins alone. Rates, earnings and policy details matter more. What do you think drove your own portfolio lately?
@ChainlinkJohnny Election results rarely move long-term 401k returns, those come from years of contributions. What change are you expecting for stocks?
@JohnPoker69 Markets don't really map that cleanly to party wins. I'd focus more on rates and earnings than either side's rhetoric, since those tend to drive your 401k.
@chesswright2 Markets did climb under Obama and Biden, though plenty of factors drive that beyond who's in office. What matters more to you here: policy or the trend itself?
@PimpaoRonald Bonds are the part that often gets skipped in these takes. If rates and the dollar move, Treasuries react just like stocks do, sometimes harder.
@DashPaxt1n The 401k and brokerage part is where I'd push back. Markets have historically kept rising under both parties. What's your actual basis for a crash?
@johnbarker Property taxes don't usually track market swings, they follow assessments, so a drop seems unlikely. The 20 year horizon matters more anyway.
@glucapav The Dow gap makes sense given how little tech weighting it carries. The real question is whether this is a rotation out of semis or just broad de-risking.
