In this episode of WashingtonWise Investor, Mike Townsend answers questions he often hears from investors on his travels throughout the country. A common theme at his in-person events is the way that certain actions out of Washington predictably cause the markets to react, while others barely register. From on-again-off-again trade negotiations to budget delays and climbing national debt, Mike shares his insights on what is likely to trigger a market response and why.

Mike also looks at where the trade agreements stand, new hurdles to avoid a government shutdown, what political mix in Washington suits the markets best, and the possibility of loosening rules around investors purchasing non-public securities.
