Well, folks. We’ve nearly made it. The election is roughly 24 hours from being over. And with that will come a new person sitting in the Oval office – oh, and…the end of a bajillion political ads peppering our televisions!

Having advised investors for nearly 20 years, I’ve seen this all before.

With each election cycle, without fail, countless advisors, financial news outlets and of course, your know-it-all (INSERT: relative’s name here) will try to predict how the stock market reacts after the election depending on who wins the presidency.

Thankfully, we here at blooom have the real inside scoop on how to president proof your portfolio. Just follow this one piece of advice: RELAX.

Now, you may be thinking to yourself ‘I just don’t see how that protects my investments.’ So, I will explain a bit further: cooler heads always prevail. It is true that certain stocks may go up or down in value differently depending on which candidate is elected and how their legislative initiatives impact certain markets. However, these swings in value are just simple and normal market corrections (see: 401ks aren’t life or death. BUT they can feel like it. So go with me here for a second).

It’s really a set of flares being deployed by a C-130. But a great lesson can be found here about Samsung stock and investing in general.

On August 19th (with Samsung stock trading at near an all-time high of $23.55) Samsung launched its Galaxy Note 7 with a great amount of fan-fair. It was bigger than previous versions, it was waterproof, it had an iris scanning camera…oh, the excitement!!!

But it didn’t take long to discover it had another feature – it explodes. Five days later the first Note 7 explosion occurred and with it the stock begins to implode. And as of October 11th, 2016 the stock was trading at $19. That’s a 19.3% loss in value in less than two months. Poof.

Here’s the deal, somewhere in America there was probably a 401k participant that worked at Samsung that decided to “load up” on Samsung stock. And why not? At the time Samsung had one of the greatest competitors to the iPhone, probably had some nice fundamentals and promising future.

This 401k behavior is a nationwide problem. In fact, Proctor & Gamble has 37.7% of its $3.1 Billion Savings Plan allocated to company stock, the $12.9 billion Honeywell International Inc. Savings and Ownership Plan has 29.8% in company stock, the $19 billion Chevron Corp. Employee Savings Investment Plan has and astounding 46.7% in company stock and General Electric Co.’s $27.5 billion GE Retirement Savings Plan contains 35.5% in GE stock. Data for all of these plans are for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014.
