In this episode of Your Business, Your Wealth, Paul and Cory discuss an article they recently discovered on the influence that the presidential election cycle has on the marketplace. Specifically, they break down the fallacy that the market can be timed or beaten by analyzing data based on market performance in election years. They take a look at historical data of the S&P 500 Index to strengthen their argument and point out other flaws within this article. Finally, Paul provides some actionable advice and sound strategies to those looking to invest their money.
