TradeRepublic is offering a new way to give away shares and ETF units. It's easy to do by e-mail and gives you the chance to win shares worth up to €10,000.

You can now send shares and ETFs directly by e-mail. If you send a value of at least €25, you automatically qualify for the competition.

If you don't have any friends, you can also send the shares to yourself and take part in the competition yourself.

I personally find it really interesting and would have tried to motivate some people to start investing.

Well, unfortunately I didn't win anything, but I wish you every success. Who will you be sending a share to? 🎁

It all started in 2022 with €3,000 seed capital. I didn't have a sophisticated strategy at the time, my first purchases were McDonalds, Berkshire, Nvidia and Microsoft.

Over time, my ambition grew, my savings rate increased and a suitable strategy developed for me.

It feels good to achieve the first big goal, but the journey will continue and I am already looking forward to achieving further goals.

My €500 savings plan on the S&P500 $VUAG (+0.34%) is still running. From 2025, I will build up a slightly larger cash position in parallel for further options, job training, real estate, dividends, etc.

The US elections are a global event that affects not only the political but also the economic world. As I am looking to invest a larger amount in the S&P500 myself, I have been wondering how the stock markets will perform after a presidential election. Historical data shows some interesting patterns that give us insight into how markets react to election outcomes.

Short-term uncertainty and volatility

Before and immediately after elections, markets often experience a period of heightened volatility. Uncertainty about which political guidelines the new president will implement leads investors to act more cautiously. For example, the unclear election result in 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore led to a temporary decline in the S&P 500 until the Supreme Court made a final decision and the market regained stability.

Republican or Democrat - does it make a difference?

Interestingly, both parties have historically delivered positive stock market returns, but the immediate market reaction often differs depending on the party affiliation of the election winner. A Republican victory, as with Donald Trump in 2016, is often associated with pro-business policies, such as tax cuts and less regulation, which can lead to a short-term rise in stock prices. After Trump's election, the S&P 500 gained around 5% in the remaining weeks of 2016 as investors hoped for deregulation and economic stimulus.

Long-term market performance - focus on the economy and monetary policy

While elections undoubtedly have a short to medium-term impact, long-term market performance is more dependent on general economic conditions and monetary policy. Under presidents of both parties - from Obama to Biden, from Bush to Trump - the stock markets recorded positive returns on average. The Federal Reserve's expansionary monetary policy often played a decisive role in this, as low interest rates and bond purchases supported the markets and boosted growth.

Conclusion

The stock market often reacts positively in the short term to the clarification of political uncertainties after elections. In the long term, however, general economic conditions and monetary policy measures are of key importance. Regardless of the president's party affiliation, historical data shows that stock markets can achieve growth under either party.
