Got $4,000? Here Are 4 Safe Stocks to Consider Buying Before the Election

Elections bring uncertainty. While polls can foreshadow the probable outcome, it isn't guaranteed until all the votes are counted. Because of that, there's some unease in buying stocks before an election, especially for those just starting their investing journey.

But well-managed, financially strong companies in growing industries should thrive no matter the outcome. Four companies boasting those characteristics are Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (NYSE: BIP)(NYSE: BIPC), Duke Realty (NYSE: DRE), NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE), and Realty Income (NYSE: O). Because of that, investors with $4,000 to put to work (or any number, really) could build a nice little election-resistant portfolio with this quartet.
