This has been supported by a recent Janus Henderson Investment Survey…
“1,000 mass affluent and high-net-worth investors were surveyed to understand their mindset amid a challenging geopolitical climate and an unsettled market and economic environment.”
“The number one concern today is the Election. The number three theme is Investors are hungry for knowledge.“

This is NOT a political endorsement and yes this time may be different. However, we thought it was interesting, so we wanted to share it with you. Based on the last 75 years, the best course of action was staying invested.
