a matket is similar to a market, but with one subtle difference. It happens when the fingers are one letter to the right on the keyboard.

Very dangerous.

That doesn’t make any sense. I am going to sell, and take a huge lose, when the one who is going to save me is winning.

Matket? Aren't those the little rat thingies on Animal Planet?

These bastards are saying the falling market is causing Barry’s numbers to rise!

Just like Al Gore claims the atmospheric CO2 led temperature increases over the past 100,000 years, when it is manifestly the other way around.

I for one believe the plunge in the Dow is caused by global warming.

I believe Obama has the Meerkat vote all locked up.

Palin is a good shot and advocates population control for critters.

However, many people in the finance industry fear an Obama victory, because the LAST thing the economy needs is a tax increase on both income and capital gains. That would result in massive liquidity flight out of the USA, effectively collapsing the US economy and taking down the world's economy along with it.

We should do the exact opposite and kibosh our tax laws in favor of a consumption-based tax such as FairTax, where the ending of personal income tax and corporate taxes would result in a massive injection of liquidiity into the USA, effectively ending the economic crisis in a matter of a few weeks!

There are a number of polls that show Obama's lead shrinking. We must remember that in the last election at this time Kerry was 50 and Bush 46. We can stop Obama, but only with EVERYONE working towards that goal!

Exactly...suspension of income tax, corporate tax, cap gains tax, etc.

The economy would roar itself right out of this problem.

GOVT IS THE PROBLEM!

Unfortunately many large businesses have long since left entrepreneurship behind and are mostly interested in maintaining lobbying clout and thus bet on someone like Obama with money and advisors to insure that if he wins they’ll be able to keep feeding at the trough. They have little concern for the Constitution or the Republic.

Cool...I guess the corner reads Free Republic. I posted those same three charts repeatedly yesterday, and emailed them out last night to everyone I know.

A few polls out today show Obama’s rise is starting to fall.

Reuters/Zogby’s latest poll has McCain/Palin down 1.9%.

Hotline/FD tracking poll has McCain/Palin down by just 1%.

Hopefully, the tide is turning.....let’s pray it’s an eventual tsunami against Barry Hussein.

Ask yourself about the fears that the active investors have, not some wino on the street.

The active investors are NOT desperate to get Barry and a leftist Congress with no speed bumps, that’s for sure.

Correlation is not causation.

One of the best reasons I can think of for some investors to pull out of the market before Obama wins (and that's a huge IF) is that it will be much better to be in a cash position in a communist country than it would be to own a piece of a worthless private entity in that same political environment.

Investors don't want worthless paper in a communist country. Cash, gold, and lead are much better investments in such a situation.
