Back in November, we highlighted some potential merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the financial-services sector... We mentioned the potential Janus Henderson (JHG) and Invesco (IVZ) marriage.

The Democrats have captured the weakest possible "Blue Wave" that pundits discussed. This has folks wondering what that means for your wealth and the companies you invest in.
