I have noted the text you provided below. Please note that if you want to know Raymond James' official position on the 2020 election., you can find it by clicking the link at the bottom of this email.
As we approach the final quarter of this year, I want to remind you to remain optimistic and appreciate those around you. The media may create more noise, and the election may go differently than planned based on your political views. It is easy to be fearful and overwhelmed by the current situation. However, Henry Ravenel and I have your best interests and security in mind. We work together daily to strategize on your behalf and are not swayed by the media noise. Our focus is on policy, not politics.
This year, 2020, has brought some of the most astonishing statistics in my lifetime. These record-breaking stats would be worthy of attention on their own. Whether we like it or not, 2020 has bundled the following:
1. The most significant gap in income inequality since the 1920's
2. The Pandemic of 1918 H1N1
3. The social movements similar to the 1960’s
4. We broke the record for the fastest stock market crash in under 30 days
5. Following, we had the second highest stock market valuation since the late 1990's
6. Real estate is having the most significant housing boom in rural America since 2006
7. The Federal Reserve is now the largest investor in the world. ($7 Trillion in assets and counting)
8. China is the only economy in the G20 to have its GDP grow year over year.
And my speculation for the election? It will be similar too: The election of 1876 (Hayes vs Tilden) was when Congress decided who would be President. Despite all this, I am still optimistic! This is still a fantastic country with unlimited potential.
God Bless America,
Cheers
