What are your thoughts? Could we see a big crash following the election? Anyone planning on selling just prior to the election?
I am not a stock-market seer.
A stock-market crash is possible immediately following an election.
My opinion is that for days there will be unprecedented uncertainty about who won.
Since investors dislike uncertainty I think there is a heightened possibility of significant stock-market volatility.
FWIW G.B., I expect Biden to win.
If he does some investors may sell because they fear higher taxes on their investments in stocks.
OTOH, some investors will have a sense of relief and return to normalcy which could spur them to buy stocks.
Under no circumstances would I sell stocks just prior to an election.
