While not official yet, a politically divided federal government appears likely for the next two years. With the mid-term elections effectively behind us, investors will focus again on the same pre-election worries: inflation, interest rates, corporate earnings, and a possible recession.
Nevertheless, simply getting past the election could be a positive. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has delivered positive results — usually double-digits — 100% of the time during the 12 months following the election, regardless of which party controlled Congress or occupied the White House.
The world is facing some unique and challenging disruptions, so is this time different? Only time will tell, but here's a short trip down memory lane of mid-terms past. :
* 1958 - the Great Chinese Famine begins, killing more than 30 million people (S&P 500: +17% 12 months after mid-term elections)
* 1962 - the Cuban Missle Crisis has the world on edge (+32% after mid-terms)
* 1970 - in the midst of the Vietnam War and still recovering from the 1968 global flu pandemic (+21% after mid-terms)
* 1982 - US/Russian nuclear negotiations while Russia imposes martial law in Poland (+44% after mid-terms)
* 1990 - Soviet Union collapses, East and West Germany are united (+33% after mid-terms)
* 2002 - The European Union officially adopts a new global currency, the Euro (+21% after mid-terms)
* 2010 - the ongoing global financial crisis and historic unemployment (+8% after mid-terms)

Open enrollment to change healthcare insurance starts on Jan 1, 2023. Now is the time to start looking at your options. Ideally, if you choose by Dec 15, you can begin coverage on Jan 1. One of the most important decisions you will ever make, and probably make more than once, is finding the right healthcare provider. Here is a 3-step approach from ShareCare.com to choosing wisely:
1. take a survey from friends, family, and coworkers
2. do online research
3. call the office directly with questions like these:
+ do they accept your insurance?
+ did they go to an accredited medical school and residency program?
+ do they see a lot of patients?
+ do they have hospital privileges at a Joint Commission-accredited hospital?
+ have they been board certified for at least three years?
+ do they practice with other providers who have equally solid credentials and training?

Keeping fresh fruit in mason jars is an excellent hack for storing your fruit that will help keep it fresher for longer. The technique requires adding a little vinegar to a 10-15 minute water soak to clean your fruit from bacteria (which make them mold and get rotten faster) and air drying them on paper or tea towels. However, that’s a small price to keep fresh, colorful fruit longer.
