Last week the U.S. market declined for 9 straight days in a row and that made it the longest losing streak in roughly 36 years for the market. And it's expected that next week the market is going to experience even more turmoil as we get closer to election day. Some financial experts suggest that the markets are going to crash with either a Clinton or a Trump presidency, and they've warned investors to sell prior to the election next week.

One of those well-known financial experts is David Stockman who just this week announced that he believed the markets were hideously inflated (he isn't the only one) and he believes that the market would react negatively to the possibility of either a Republican or a Democrat presidency. He suggests that the government is going to be paralyzed regardless of who wins and he has urged investors to pull their money out now and sell while they have the chance.

But other financial experts suggest that the comments on market volatility are overblown and they suggest that we might only see a short burst of volatility surrounding the election, but nothing that we should prompt worry over.

If we do see some negative reactions in the market following the election then we can assume that the media and those responsible for the problem are going to do everything that they can to divert attention away from what actually caused it in the first place. Central banks with their quantitative easing and low interest rates have fueled these problems for many decades and they aren't something that can be blamed on a Clinton or Trump presidency alone.
