Is my tinfoil hat too tight or does this continuation of the severe market sell-off seem coincidentally timed going into the last two weeks of the election?

Great, another -700+ day.

Our economy is scared to death of a socialist President.

The WSJ reported that Obama was up 10 points on their front page; hence naturally the stock market droped.

Maybe they need to bail some more?

I think another 700 billion freebucks will help...

Whew! Good thing we spent some $700 BILLION (+earmarks) to save them Wall Street fat-cat hides, or else this economy would be in trouble.

I hope and pray to GOD that this doesn't become a self fulfilling prophecy.

If the GOP rises in the polls, there is a late day drop in the Dow, the democrats just can’t stand it.

The economy must suffer so Obama can win.

Simple - People getting out before the election should BO become president. They can get back in after the election but it pays to get out now.

You can thank your friendly Obama sycophant media for this precipitous drop ... business is not looking forward to the next four years as envisioned by the media worshipping the little Marxist squirrel. Capitalism doeswn’t fair well in Marxist onslaught from within. Charles Schumer pushed the first domino over with his airing of the coming failure of Indymac bank ... it would fail but had several months of struggle in which to try and save itself had the democrap Schumer not made media news which caused an immediate run on the bank. Shcumer is the one who started the dmeocrat stealth financial failure in motion. The media, of course, will not expose that for the electorate to see the truth.

I don’t think that is unreasonable to think.

I believe we are in a blackmail scenario. Vote for Barack or “we” will tank the economy.

Buffet and Soros only scratch the surface of super wealthy that hate Republicans and Palinites. Little has been made of how the super rich have rallied to the Obama campaign long ago more than any previous democratic candidate. For some reason this is not highly rated by the media.

The candidate that raised half a billion dollars in campaign cash is still taking in huge sums despite the stock market collapse. He has huge moneymakers behind him.

They do have the power to disrupt the market. The DOJ is investigating about 30 businesses for this possible activity but I doubt it will amount to anything.

People are panicking about a possible NOBAMA President. It will bounce back up once MSM reports they are neck and neck (hahaha, I made a funny)!

What I meant to say is it will bounce back once McCain and Palin are elected into office!
