  1. Oh no. If that's stock's prediction, then we will probably end completely flat: Open=Close! :p

  2. what if John McCain wins and there is mass rioting and Obama refuses to concede defeat due to "electoral fraud"?

    Will the markets like that scenario?

  4. The uncertainty along with the rioting would cause the Dow to fall 500+ points.

  5. mccain wins, mkt would take out the lows, once again stock you show how little you actually know about anything.

  8. Who knows.

    I sold 100 T-Bond futures during the Rodney King riots thinking that if Los Angeles's Korea-town was in flames from black rioters it would scare off Asian bond investors. My stupid "logic" cost me 100k......

  10. reuter's poll shows people think obama is good for the market. they are buying NOW.

    tax cuts for 99%, more money to invest, may as well invest now, not to miss the big run-up, etc..
