We’re quickly closing in on Election Day 2024, so in this week’s Bespoke Report we’ve got a number of market-related stats surrounding elections for you to ponder over so that you can take a break from all the political monitoring you’ve likely been doing more and more of lately as Election Day draws nearer.

We went back and read through our final weekly Bespoke Reports prior to the four Presidential Elections we’ve had since Bespoke was founded in 2007.  It’s a great way to go back in time and see what was really happening in the days and weeks leading up to prior elections.  You can view them by clicking the links below:

Reading through these prior reports was a reminder of the turmoil that was happening in the lead-up to recent elections.  In 2008, the stock market was absolutely crashing from the Financial Crisis as Election Day neared.  In 2012, the entire northeast was reeling from Super Storm Sandy.  2016 was actually the most mild of the four, but the S&P still rode a 9-day losing streak into the weekend before that Election.  And in 2020, COVID was still top of mind with another “wave” happening.  So far at least, 2024 has been tame relatively speaking.  Hopefully it’s not just the calm before the storm!
