Hightower Podcast: Collective Wisdom

David Bahnsen of The Bahnsen Group discusses the intersection of politics and personal finance, noting that investors may not want to talk politics but they need to factor current events and the political climate into their investment choices. Bahnsen notes that  investors can create portfolio problems when they choose to invest based more on their political leanings than on a dispassionate view of how current events can and will impact the market, but he noted that trying to ignore politics altogether while investing can be costly in its own ways.
