How could the markets know anything we don’t?

I’m not saying its lost (I have no idea), but all the polls suggest at the very least an Obama slim win.

I would love to believe otherwise, but I don’t think this means anything — especially right now. The dow could be down 250 by the end of the day.

The markets usually know everything. Somebody may have seen the internal polls with McCain up.

I think it is a 'last hurrah!' and expect a sell off late in the day or tomorrow.

McCain’s internals. Or maybe they’ve read “Toast.”

Because the "skull and bones" guys that run the markets received early news on what the "skull and bones" guys that rig the elections are doing /conspiracy>

>>>How could the markets know anything we don’t?

Lets put it this way....

If you are a democratic pollster for the MSM, you have done your job well beyond expectations regardless of the outcome of the elections. Your job is secure.

If however, you are a pollster for stockholders and investors, and you get this wrong... your name is mud, and you better start looking for a new line of work... like polling for the democratic propaganda machine.

There are two types of polls... those for making sound investments, and the other for shaping public opinion.

Those betting hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds, stocks, currencies, do you really think they don't set themselves up to get a sneak peek at the exit interview numbers?
