John Stoltzfus, chief investment strategist at Oppenheimer Asset Management, wrote that amid this uncertainty, investors “can do better by remaining patient and avoiding risks.” How the election results will impact markets benefit from jumping to conclusions.”

He added: “We favor broad diversification and greater exposure to cyclical and secular trends that still exist today.”

You can’t go wrong by following the age-old rules of stock market investing: invest for the long term, diversify and focus on fundamentals like earnings and valuation.
