With the transition from the Obama to Trump administrations coming up, some uncertainties and concerns are on the minds of citizens across the country and in Marion County.

The stock market has been one of those topics of concern, most notably how the market will react to the new president’s policies. Local accountant and investment adviser Kevin Wadle is hopeful that regardless of the president’s new policies the market will continue to do what it has done for the past hundred years. “I’m hopeful that 20, 30, 40 years from now we are going to look back at 2016 and we will remember that Donald Trump was elected president, and hopefully that’s about it. Hopefully everything continues to move on in the investment world as it has for a hundred plus years… we’ll have ups and we’ll have downs and we’ll have flat periods.” Wadle adds with any transition, changes are inevitable but by understanding the market and educating yourself before you invest you can understand and reduce your investment risk. The transition between the two administrations will be complete on inauguration day January 20th.
