What will the new American president do for the American economy and perhaps more importantly, your retirement savings?

As markets are often affected by news events, either plunging or rising depending on investors’ confidence, you may be concerned about what the current election means for your money.

How much power does the U.S. president really have?

Although past performance does not guarantee future returns, recent U.S. economic history shows that a new presidential election does not have to spell financial disaster. 

Do presidential and governmental approval ratings really affect the economy?

Both candidates in the current elections are surrounded by controversy. No matter who is elected, the winner will probably have many detractors. Do presidential approval ratings have any effect on the economy? Furthermore, what if the government is divided, with one party holding the White House and the other controlling Congress?

I hope to answer these questions and others in a webinar co-hosted by Roger Whitney, CFP®, The Retirement Answer Man, on November 10, 13, and 14. Click here to sign up.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
