One day to go, thankfully!!! It’s been a long bloody road and regardless of which way this election goes life will go on and we will make recommendations accordingly. As you know I’ve been promoting holding some cash leading into this election, mainly since I’m more concerned about managing the downside than I am the upside. This might sound strange however I believe when the markets rally its generally wide spread, and I look to gain outperformance in the indexes we follow on the way down by being defensive in times of uncertainty and increased volatility.
Regardless however we remain focused on our longer-term objectives rather than the short-term news. Below are a few facts by RJ research that bring it back to fundamentals.

Bottom line

We’ve seen a bit of a pullback last week breaking the 2100 mark on the S&P500, breaking our mean line for the first time since mid-July.
As always should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to give me a call.
