This week on the Last Paycheck Podcast, CFP Professionals Rob Hoxton and Archie Hoxton dig into a big question: Should Your Political Views Influence Your Investment Decisions?

They break down how emotions and political beliefs can cloud judgment, why short-term political events often create more noise than impact, and what really drives long-term market performance.

Rob and Archie explain why economic fundamentals, not election results, are what matter most for investors. They share practical strategies for staying disciplined, from asset allocation and diversification to rebalancing and sticking to your financial plan through election cycles and market volatility.

If you’ve ever wondered how politics and investing intersect, or how to keep your portfolio on track no matter who’s in office, this episode gives you the tools and mindset to stay focused on long-term success.
