Investors would have been better off “bipartisan” (fully invested) vs. “partisan”
Hypothetically, the best-performing portfolio during the past 127 years was the “bipartisan” one that stayed fully invested during both Democratic and Republican administrations.
A “partisan” portfolio, only invested during times when a single party held the White House, underperformed by a wide margin.
