A Trump Presidency and what it Means for Your Investments

The U.S. Presidential election was very long, very drawn out and saw a lot of mud being thrown, and even now that it is over the clouds have yet to clear fully as the States have been thrust into disarray and uncertainty over what the future holds under President Trump. Some are worried, some are fuelled with the optimistic joy that comes with the changing of a guard, however one might feel personally, it is important to know what a Trump presidency will mean for your investments.
Here are a few tips to managing your investments with the help of Denver Hedge Funds during this time of change:

The President Doesn't Matter as Much (to your investments) as People Think
Yes, there is going to be a new president, and sure that means  there will be some changes coming for the U.S., and even the world, but what exactly will happen is a huge unknown. The truth is whatever comes in the next four years economically, Trump will have very little say in.


Capitalism Wins
When you invest in the stock market, you are making an investment into capitalism. You are betting that companies and organizations will proceed to do what is needed in order to maximize their profits no matter who is in the Oval Office. So, despite a Trump presidency, just as long as you believe that the companies you are invested in will continue to strive to make a profit, you can rest easy. Working with a Denver financial planner can make you rest even easier!

Tune Out the Negative
With apps, 24-hour news cycles and blogs all at your fingertips, it is easy to over-saturate yourself with negative news about the economy and the stock market. While this access to information can be a good thing, it reaches a point where we are just saturating ourselves in negative news, and negative headlines that don't always have merit, or predictive natures. Obviously you will want to keep a tab on your portfolio, and the news, but do not constantly refresh the stream of bad news that will only make you panic unnecessarily. Working with a financial planner in Denver can make tuning out the negatives much easier.
