While we don’t want to unnecessarily stoke the flames of division, it’s worth keeping these potential scenario’s in mind. Temperatures are running hot!

No matter who you want to win this election, if in fact you care at all, it’s important to look at both possibilities objectively as to what they mean for your investments.

Put the emotions aside.
