I know what I'm talking about after trading stocks in the markets before and getting a BA in Economics and MBA in Marketing.

No, I think it's a much better strategy to whine and panic on a daily basis.

This is the most irrelevant semi-interesting information I have ever seen. So since FDR's first term in office also coincided with the last biggest loss in the market, I guess he was a horrible president. Funny how he was the only horrible president in history to be elected to four terms. I guess the American people thought differently.

Young lady-with all due respect--

I never said it made O a horrible president--I said considering there were no pro or con market indicators that day--that drop refected investors pulse of election results. Not saying they are right -only that it relected their sentiment.

how can you even remotely be able to prove this?

how does that explain the previous days' increases then? when the whole world knew it was at least a 90% obama would be elected? why wasn't the market dropping then?

this argument is silly.

-10% in 2 days of Obama as President-elect:shrug:


Our enemies no longer hate us, we are loved around the world now:rolleyes:

The media did its best job this year to get this fake empty suit in the Presidency, this is the beginning of the end for the democrat party.

The Republican will be back in charge in 2 years at mid-term elections.

Take a look at the 1 year chart. Take a look at the fall of home prices. Take a look at an 11 trillion dollar deficit. Take a look at 3 of the 5 major financial institutions going belly up or being acquired for pennies on the dollar. Take a look at rising unemployment.

And you, two days after OBama gets elected blame him.

You really are dumb as a stump.

Jabberwocky your right on. Remember there are people here that don't know the truth if it bites them in the ass. This Market just had one of it's worse Oct ever. It's looking for a bottem before the way backup starts. This trading range started 30 days ago. Yes we saw 14000 dow in 07. But that was only 868 points higher then what it was in the 90's. It should have done better last 8 years.
So we start from around 8200. And in 4 years back to 14000 if all goes well. And if it real goes well 15000. Folks should be buying right now. Some of the best companies in the world are on sale 60% off.

Looks like Obama winning did not help the stock market, 5% down today, I believe I predicted this a few weeks ago. We are headed for some really tough times in the next 4 years. I expect everyone who has a brain to take their money out right before the Bush tax cuts go away. The market will be at about 4000 in two years, enjoy. Socialism does not work, spreading the wealth will spin us into a depression.

Guess what? Who is President? I guess Bush being President didn't help the stock market. It's tough times now.

Last night on MSNBC?s Countdown, New York Times columnist and Princeton economics professor Paul Krugman pinpointed Phil Gramm as one of the architects of the current financial crisis, and the ?odds-on favorite to be the Treasury Secretary? in a McCain administration. Asked by Olbermann what Gramm?s nomination would mean for the economy, Krugman suggested it could lead to another Great Depression:

KRUGMAN: Ben Bernanke and I think Hank Paulson understand that we could manage to have another Great Depression if we work at it hard enough. I think Phil Gramm might be just the guy to do it.

we're coming off the biggest 4 day rally in the Dow since 1932.

does Bush get credit for that?

Lets hope for another 5 days of a rally, we sure need it. Hopefully the stock market will settle down and we will get some of our money back that we have lost this year.

yep, I enjoyed the interview Wednesday night with Obama;)

I actually laughed when he said he was getting a big goofy dog as a pet instead of a girly dog that yapped, he actually has a sense of humor, lets just hope he is not as liberal as when he was the candidate for Pres.:scared
