Description

As political gridlock triggers another government shutdown, we analyze the real-world financial consequences for investors, the economy, and federal services. We look at the historical market impact—which is often more noise than actual damage—and discuss why major indexes tend to shrug off short-term political drama. Learn how to strategically use cash reserves, avoid emotional selling, and position your portfolio to weather the temporary uncertainty from Washington.
