I know no one here has a crystal ball, so not asking you to predict the future 😅 But what’s the rational for buying into an S&P500 ETF now vs. waiting post election result? Any thoughts appreciated! Thanks!

Possibility of it going up before you pull the trigger. Could go the other way too.

A Biden win is priced into the S&P because he’s up in so many polls. If Trump wins, the markets will definitely move, but I have no idea which direction. In 2016, I would have predicted a market dive with a Trump win, but the week after the election the market shot up, so what do I know?

Personally, I’m holding steady. I’ll ride out whatever comes.
