Very soon there will be dramatic elections in the US, and the question arises: how will the market behave after the elections?

Well, we checked:

In the last eight election cycles in the US, the S&P 500 index rose by an average of 6.6%+ in the six months following election day, compared to a 1.5%+ increase six months prior to the elections themselves!

This is certainly a bullish and interesting data point, but the question arises...

Do you think it will be the same this time?
