Presidential elections and market corrections have a long history of companionship. Given the rampant rhetoric between the right and left, such is not surprising. Such is particularly the case over the last two presidential elections, where polarizing candidates trumped policies. From a portfolio management perspective, we must understand what happens during election years concerning the stock market and investor returns, advises Lance Roberts, editor of Bull Bear Report.

Any financial or recessionary event jeopardizing the markets would be met with rate cuts and accommodative policy, writes Lance Roberts, editor of Bull Bear Report.

Earnings season is underway, and so far, corporate outlooks remain relatively upbeat, suggesting the economic cycle might improve. While it is too early to tell for sure, some evidence may support that view and the potential for the market to eclipse all-time highs by next year, writes Lance Roberts, editor of Bull Bear Report.
