The window of opportunity to seize major gains is running out. This year is a midterm election year. Looking back at history over the past 60 years, markets have typically been paralyzed in the five to six weeks leading up to elections—sideways trading, anxiety, and little to no upward movement. This year’s stagnation in the Nasdaq is practically a textbook replica. But remember this statistic: since 1950, the S&P 500 has risen in all 19 midterm election years over the following 12 months, with zero declines, averaging gains of over 12%. With only about five weeks left until election day, the historically most profitable time to invest is about to begin!
