this was in the news a few weeks ago. "Wall street worried about Biden winning"

they would be inept in their jobs if they didn't prepare for the worst.

100%! But the uncertainty is finite.

Hint:
Our markets are anticipating a Trump win.
NewYorkers occupying Wall St offices are not.

If you look at the national debt and the debt-to-gdp and don’t at least make a chunk of your portfolio gold and silver, you aren’t paying close enough attention

Worse advice ever!

The only correct statement here. Recent examples...Initial shut down this year and end of 2018 during height of trade war. Look what the market did afterwards.

At least this concern thread isn't over polls. Well done.

Neighbor of mine is an investment rep and says same thing with the exception of his firm's research does not indicate a winner (unlike others such as Goldam who predict Biden). Does not care who wins as long as it is not dragged out but he also said there was no chance of election fraud. I just stood there in disbelief at that statement.

What Fidelity has to say: LINK

Staying the course
While the combination of political dysfunction and volatile markets may be a recipe for anxiety, volatile periods are as much a part of investing as capital gains. Attempting to "time the market" and move in and out of stocks in anticipation of volatility that might happen is a risky approach that history says may increase the likelihood that you may not reach your long-term goals. History shows that staying invested and diversified is a better approach to confronting anxiety. The financial crisis of late 2008 and early 2009, when stocks dropped nearly 50% might have seemed a good time to run for the perceived safety of cash. But a Fidelity study of 1.5 million workplace savers found that those who stayed invested in the stock market during that time were far better off than those who headed for the sidelines.
If you get anxious when stocks drop, remember that's a normal response to volatility. It's important to stick with your long-term investment mix and to have enough growth potential to achieve your goals. If you can't tolerate the ups and downs of your portfolio, consider a less volatile mix of investments that you can stick with.

Market is nothing but inflated due to trillions upon trillions the Fed is dumping into Corporate America and buying worthless junk bonds
Biden will spend double the amount of Trump and the market will explode. The stock market is rigged and running on nothing but the "creation" of trillions in debt

Most of Wall St is surrounded by hard core leftists. That echo chamber is notorious for not understanding the rest of the country.

A Biden victory is kinda already priced in. Whoever wins is going to drop a huge stimulus package and I’m bullish either way.

Of course. And in the unlikely event Trump wins you'll see the markets soar.
