What Can We Expect from the Financial Markets After the Midterm Elections? 

In just a few days, the yard signs will start coming down, and the nasty attack ads will cease.  Just that part of the mid-term elections excites me.  As people cast their votes, is there more to be excited about as it relates to the stock market? Quite possibly, yes. In the 19 mid-term elections since 1945, the stock market has been positive 12 months later in 19 out of 19 of those elections with the average gain being 14%.  Why? Because the stock market likes certainty. Many questions will be answered next Tuesday, and investors can focus on other important factors. 

Check out this video below for some very interesting insights from Raymond James CIO Larry Adam on the election.
