"With the Election Over, What Really Matters for Investors?"

Now that the election is behind us, the market is responding well, possibly due to clarity on policy directions. But elections come and go, and in investing, there’s a steadier signal worth watching: earnings and dividends.

Think of it this way: if you owned a great company outright—say, Amazon, Apple, or Walmart—would you sell it because of an election outcome, interest rate changes, or other events? Likely not, because you’d trust in its ongoing earnings power.

Stocks represent real business ownership, and for long-term investors, focusing on the steady growth of earnings and dividends can be much more rewarding than reacting to political changes.

In the end, concentrating on the performance of these companies rather than fluctuating stock prices could lead to success over time. Let’s stay focused on what truly drives value—no matter the political landscape.

📊 As a financial advisor, I'm often asked, 🤝 "What do you think about the market?" 💡 The truth is, it really doesn't matter what I think about the market 📉... A more valuable question might be 🌐 "What do we know about the market, and what steps are you taking in response?" 📈 It's not just about opinions; it's about actions. ✅

At my previous wealth management firm, our annual retreat was a mixed bag – got to go somewhere nice, but those meetings? Not enjoyable or helpful. Now, I'm so grateful to have been part of SageSpring Wealth Partners for the past 7 years where meetings aren't just meetings. We are truly 'better together' in every sense as we share best practices for adding the most value we possibly can to each client.

Also great to be here with my team member, Holden Gully, CFP® Having him partner with me has been a game-changer for our team! Thankful for the rest of the team back at the office to support us being here! Landry Cade Russell

Pullbacks can make you want to pull up stakes and run – a reaction that's often a mistake, especially for long-term investors. The right knowledge and historical perspective can help us avoid making investment decisions based on emotion rather than strategy.

By looking at the market over a long period of time, we're provided with a true testament of resiliency.

Each decline along the way felt terrible, and declines today feel just as uncomfortable. But when we track the overall growth the market has achieved, it's clear that there are benefits to persistence, patience and commitment.
