that there will be a bull market after the election regardless of who wins the presidency and Congress, but investors will want to skew their portfolios depending on the outcome.
The chief investment strategist said that politicians on either side will"ultimately have to cave" and release another stimulus plan, sometime before or shortly after the election. Markets know this, he said, and that's why he doesn't think the outcome of the election will matter in the short term. "We're in a recession still, we're in a pandemic ... It's going to be very difficult for either side to avoid those facts. And what that means is that we're going to get more spending from Congress," Wilson said.
However, in the longer term, the outcome of the election"matters a ton for policy" and will be"felt more at a sector level," according to Wilson. He said that if there's a Democratic sweep, financial and energy stocks could face more regulation and may not perform as well as other sectors. Technology stocks, however, may fare better than some expect because he doesn't think Democrats will be tough on tech regulation., Wilson also said that the economic recovery will continue into 2021.
It won't boom until we get a handle on the plague. We don't know when that will happen. We can only conjecture.
