MARKET RETURNS:
As it turns out, the President (historically) has less of an impact on the market than most people think. Instead, the real deciding factor tends to be: Congress.
In this case, it becomes apparent that the highest historical returns come from (believe it or not) a divided Congress, where one party controls the House and the other controls the Senate. In this case, a Republican president – with a divided Congress, sees the highest returns of 13.7% – while a Democrat president isn’t too far behind, at 13.6%.
Beyond that, it seems as though a fully Republican congress (like we’ll soon have) yields the second highest returns, at 13% and 12.9% annually, regardless of who’s president, and the lowest returns come from a Republican President and a Democrat congress, at just 4.9%.
In terms of investing, the strongest returns also happen for those who invest early:
* If you invested $10K on Jan 1st of an election year, you had the best outcome 60% of the time.
* If you split the $10K into $1K each month of an election year, you had the best outcome 26% of the time.
* Finally, if you waited on the sidelines to invest after the election, you only had a 13% chance of coming out on top
SECTOR PERFORMANCE:
According to past performance, it's impossible to determine if one sector will outperform another based on who's in office. For example, During the Trump's 2016 presidency, “clean energy outperformed traditional energy by 43% per year. During the Biden presidency, traditional energy outperformed clean energy by 53% per year."
In terms of WHY this happens, an investment manager of Fidelity said: “It's exceedingly rare that a candidate will be able to deliver on exactly what they've proposed once they take office. If you're making investment decisions based on such proposals, that could be a risky way of managing one's money.”
STOCK MARKET RETURNS IN 2025:
Obviously, stocks and cryptocurrency have absolutely rallied on news of a Trump Presidency – BUT, I’d be cautious about whether those types of massive returns are sustainable.
That’s why, I’m a firm believer that it’s a lot more prudent to look at yourself, and ask: What can I do – as an individual – to improve my overall situation right now? Is that working overtime? Is it learning a new skill? Is it finding another job? Is it ensuring career stability? Is it cutting back expenses? Is it getting rid of useless overhead? Is it investing consistently?
All of these things will have a MUCH more significant impact than tax policy and the presidency.

Thank God for those tariffs. I predict life is going to get a lot better for everyone rich and poor.
Love it…you should do an update video now that CA prop 36 passed…go back to Cali and even come down to Huntington Beach and I can tell you what has already changed
@@desultorilypanaceayou know that Americans pay the tariffs right?
@@doom2060 yes and who cares if we pay .20 cents more if it ultimately gets China to make products here in the US
Those tariffs costs will be passed on to consumers and deportation will cost $$$. Our stock market will go up until…
I agree. Putting your hope in a President or someone in a political space to take care of your finances isn’t smart. Be consistent, patient, diversified, and don’t panic at every little blip in the market and you have greatly increased your chances of success.
Agreed!
They can’t think that far head, the micro aggressions and “feelings” are their priority.
I appreciate you for always being the calm voice of reason! Especially during these times 👍
thanks!
@@GrahamStephan you say “it remains to be seen” whether tarrifs will increase consumer prices. Do you think there is a 50% chance that businesses will absorb the extra costs? That does not seem plausible to me.
@@tubesteaknyourino tariffs do raise prices, that’s often the whole point, to create an advantage for domestic companies who otherwise couldn’t compete
@@juliamrtn4837 indeed. That is why I was dissapointed in Graham’s superficial coverage of tarrifs. One thing you left out is that tarrifs only achieve that goal when they are applied strategically rather than as a blanket policy. We do not have the manufacturing capacity and workforce necessary to make all of the products we consume. Part of our economic dominance has been offloading that onto others. In short, things will just be more expensive.
@tubesteaknyouri I agree with everything you said, and also as a European I find it a bit funny how some Americans are allergic to the word “taxes” but have no problems with tariffs, when they essentially have the same effect on the consumer
Oh sure, trickle down economics ALWAYS works
Has any liberal policy ever worked?
Read some Thomas Sowell
“trickle down” is another fancy word for Natural Economics (it’s Basic Economics)
@@LK56835 Trickle down is also another term for Horse and Sparrow economics. I other words, if you feed all the oats to the horses (aka big corporations and billionaires) they will gorge themselves. Then the sparrows (aka most Americans) can eat their sh!t and hope something made it out the other end for us. I can’t imagine why they stopped using that terminology! Lol
I appreciate the way you present this in an unbiased, just by the numbers type of video. Politics make people ugly on the internet. I’m sure you will still have someone tell you you’re stupid somewhere in these comments. Thanks for the video 😀
He does a good job in this video of keeping things bipartisan, but he is extremely biased as an individual.
It’s not completely unbiased. Saying it’s yet to be seen that tariffs increase costs of goods is just flat out wrong. No business importing goods is going to just take a profit hit
I will never, ever, understand why people just don’t stay invested. And they let their political gods decide whether or not they should invest. I am so glad I just don’t operate that way. Sounds like an absolutely horrible life.
Some people also like to invest at the slot machines. Horrible return on those.
Some of us dont have the money to reasonably invest……..
Video starts at 14:53 thank me later
I hate how he always drags his video, and then gives you the same info like everyone else
😂
At what time can I thank you?
Huge thank you, this guy is rambling too much and wasting my time
That nerd look and how articulate he is and the hand gestures all to say a whole bunch of common knowledge in a way that seems smart😭
Sold my Tesla stock today at 350 a share. I think the stock is over romanticizing the idea of how Trump is going to help Elon. I could be wrong. Either way I’m selling at a big win so I won’t be upset if it goes up or down.
Everything is at ATH’s right now, common sense does say down is more probable than everything to continue to go up.
Will hit 400 plus
I bought mine in 2018
People keep believing in trickle-down economics because it’s usually well packaged (in theory). Business owners will TELL you that the extra $$$ they retain by paying less in taxes will be automatically reinvested and hire more people, aka creating jobs. In reality, that extra $ goes directly to bigger executive salaries and bonuses! I have wealthy friends who own businesses, year after year, the business size stays the same, but they got a new villa in Spain, tho.
So businesses don’t grow? Wtf u talkin about?
Bigger bonuses or stock buyback that directly lead to bigger bonuses
Recap: time in the market is better then timing the market…..!
some people think tariffs are going to raise prices? That’s what they do. It’s not debated.
I worked for a sporting goods store while doing my undergrad during Trump’s first presidency. We carried many items made in China, and when Trump implemented his tariffs, our owner had to raise the prices of our goods to offset the tax on our imports. That store is closed now.
Trump is gonna ruin this country
@@erikrausch3945Seems to me it was a lot more that caused that particular store to close than just tariffs lol. Biden continued on Trump’s tariffs and there are still plenty of sporting goods stores doing just fine!
As someone who lives in Europe I can tell you that tariffs absolutely DO raise prices. Lol. That’s the whole point
I think we’ve all gone blind to it but check the tags of anything you buy and see where it’s made. I was in home Depot looking at plumbing fittings every one of them was made in China. Imagine tacking on a 60% increase in price on these when building a house 🤯. That $10 bag of crimps is now $16.
Thank you for the duality of the topic broski 13:21 I feel it’s 80/20 with businesses with the latter doing “right” with the money.
I am impressed with your update on these stocks, now my question is which is best to buy at this time. I have some liquid assets up to $250k to diversify.
Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a financial-advis0r straight up!
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. She has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
*TRUDY ELIZABETH STOUFFER* . .. has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
DCAing amongst various assets is a good strategy and can help reduce the impact of market volatility and thus a good strategy if you are looking to compound . However it is important to consider financial advisory when investing .
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She’s helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i’m in dire need of proper portfoIlo allocation
