Questions:

[Faux pas]

Are the polls designed to drive all of us crazy? What real purpose do they serve?

I don't pay attention to them anymore, I relish my sanity too much

3. Keep your eye on the ball

Investment folks will tell you not to get too wrapped up in the day-to-day fluctuations of the stock market. You're trusting that capitalism will continue to grow and expand, the same principle that cancer operates on, though I'm sure that's just a coincidence. Your retirement account is in there for the long haul, and while the value of your holdings might dip due to a temporary reversal in the market, it will make it back and more in time.

Likewise, don't get too wrapped up in one poll with a divergent result. Keep your eye on the moving average (aggregate of all polls for the past week or 10 days), and you'll soon spot for yourself the outlier polls with both favorable and unfavorable numbers.

There's another blue wave building for this November. Let's work together to help make it happen.
