Your Money in 20 Woodward Financial Advisors

In this episode, Laura and Vic talk: Presidential Elections, Markets, and Counterprogramming the Media. When faced with uncertainty, we understand the natural human reaction to worry.  An example of uncertainty in 2024 is the upcoming Presidential election. Our political elections in the U.S. have become very polarizing, with each side thinking that if the other party wins then our country (and economy and stock market and you name it…) will crumble. So, is that a reason to worry?
