The Day After the Election
As the U.S. election approaches, we know that whatever happens the day after the election, we can say with 100% certainty, that people will continue to eat, both at home and at restaurants, millennials will yearn for brands that match their personal preferences, Americans will continue to live, work, and shop online and the secular movement to watch and consume content across multiple devices will continue. The bottom line is that the digitization of everything will continue its relentless advance, regardless of politics. No matter what happens on election day, investors must focus on the certainties that do exist, identify companies that operate in these environments, which improve your odds of success and then invest with a long term, data driven and mindset that reduces the negative impact of emotions.
