Everyone Expects a Crash. History Doesn't.
Every midterm year the same warning spreads: the stock market alwayscrashes before the election. I pulled 30 years of data — every midterm
cycle since 1998 — to test whether it's true.

In this video: the four-month total returns for the S&P 500, Nasdaq,
and Russell 2000 heading into every midterm election since 1998 —
average, best case, and worst case — and what the same 30 years say
about the six months after the midterm elections. We cover why stock
market averages are almost never actually hit, the pre-election
heatmap cycle by cycle, three projected paths for the S&P 500 into
November, how bull markets actually top out, and all nine
pre/post-election combinations — only one of which has ever ended
lower. If the midterm election cycle has you expecting a stock market
crash, correction, or sell-off in 2026, check this history before
you sell.

My name is Joe Brown, and I'm a former stock broker who spent years
advising the top 1% on how to manage their wealth. After making enough
money to leave the corporate world behind, I turned my attention to
teaching regular people financial strategies that exist outside the
mainstream — things you'll never hear from your traditional financial
advisor. My mission is to make money simple so that you can simply
make more money.
