How To Retire 101

I love this quote:

“Discipline is remembering who you said you wanted to be.”

It was an honor to teach the how to retire 101 curriculum to the Missouri State Troopers,Troop D today. They asked great questions and were a great crowd.

I am being asked about the presidential election in every meeting I have. The market impact of the election is impossible to predict. Still, we know the differences between Trump and Biden are widest in foreign policy, immigration, regulation, taxes, and trade, so stocks tied to those issues could see big swings. History tells us that volatility tends to pick up in the early fall during election years and usually rallies right after the election, regardless of which side wins.
