In this special edition of the Simplify Your Retirement Podcast, Stephen Stricklin, CFP® President of Wise Wealth, and Vice President Paul Brock discuss the recent 2024 U.S. election and its immediate impact on the stock market.
The episode focuses on three key questions people have about investing during election years and the broader economic outlook.
1. Why did the stock market respond favorably to Donald Trump’s second-term win?
2. Why didn’t the advisors change investment strategies before the election?
3. What can people expect economically from a Trump presidency?
The episode wraps up with the idea that time and discipline are crucial for successful investing. The focus should always be on having a solid financial plan, which should drive investment decisions, rather than chasing short-term trends or reacting to political events. The hosts encourage viewers to understand their own financial goals and stay disciplined in their approach.
