Totally agree. For OP as a young investor I would suggest creating a learning account for experimenting with higher risk trading strategies. For investment purposes SPY and QQQ, just not before the election because too much volatility right now.

but you also directly contradict it by saying to wait until after the election.
Timing the market > Time in the market is my motto so your previous comment has me intrigued.
