As we’re only a few weeks away from a presidential election, there has been a lot of speculation as to what might happen in the markets. Plenty of investors are trying to figure out what they should do with their holdings. In last week’s podcast, we discussed why the volatility surrounding this election is normal, and there may not be much to do at all!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:

‘Americans are ‘Panic Buying’ Life Insurance Due to Coronavirus’ – Greg Iacurci – CNBC
