re: Getting out of the market before election

You are not the first person who discovered that we have an election coming up in November. If the market were going to suddenly crash if candidate A (or candidate B) wins, it would not be advancing so smoothly right now. After many years of experience, I am convinced that market timing is a futile endeavor. When should you get out and when should you get back in? Based upon what I am seeing now, the election will be a non-event for the market. I could be wrong, but that is the way I am betting.
