I notice today that the DOW is tanking, down more than 500 points. Co-incidentally three of six polls show McCain gaining. Could someone like a George Soros or multi-billionaire arab be manipulating the stock market? Whatever is bad for America (losing DOW) seems to be good for Obama (higher poll numbers). With the poor DOW showing today, I suspect Obama's numbers will be much higher tomorrow. Could someone more computer literate than I bring up the last few weeks of both polling and the stock market for comparison? If there is no coralation at all, then I guess i'm just being paranoid.
Possibly, but I think it's just carry over panic - people trying to 'take profits' from the gains made yesterday.

The smart ones among them. The credit balloon has been pricked/rendered and the escaping air will take months, if not years to work itself out. I say years because if the govt keeps pumping money in to shore things up, it will be drawn out.
seems valid.
how about the micro donations.
would not surprise me if some former KGB computer geeks are spending petro dollars on obama t-shirts under the name “1234567890”
it is all possible.
remember the short sellers (soros) are back on the market.
The 'rats talk about the Fairness Doctrine, what about the demise of journalism and the fact that they are now just an extension of the 'rat party. They need to be dismantled. We need real journalism not media manipulation of "facts".
“If you think Soros and his minions aren’t doing all they can to tank the economy, THEN you’re a conspiracy theorist. I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole banking failure problem has been organized specifically for the purpose of getting BO elected. NOT kidding.”
Maybe that’s what Obama meant when he said “ You don’t know who you’re dealing with”. That phrase has stuck in my mind and I’ve been wondering what he was refering to. Maybe we know now.
I think it is an operation but I don’t quite know who is directing the players around.
If you take off the tin foil hat it doesn’t get any better, the markets continue to tank on the thought that obama, reid, pelosi,frank, etc will soon control the economy of the United States of America...... (gloom)
Fear that as much as an Obama win?
This is very possible.
Different kind of fear, the immediate kind when Obama loses, the generations long kind of fear if he wins.
I think the press will help stir up a really bad situation when Obama loses, one of the “news” people will not be able to resist calling the country racist, etc.
Not possible.
You almost put your finger on why Dinosaur Media outlets are collapsing...massive layoffs in the printing and distribution departments. People are starting to disbelieve the Media, and belief is the only raw material they hold. No credibility, no revenues. It’s that simple.
Check out post #19 - it explains how easy this type of manipulation is in the short run...
Period.
They made a big mistake this season, they went in the tank for Obama against Hillary and created a backlash with the last group of people they had any credibility with, democrats.
Does anyone here have any idea how much $$$ Soros....has?
Do the math...folks.
George Soros...cannot move the whole market. It's impossible.........
Bares repeating....................!!!!
Yeah...funny, isn’t it?
It wouldn’t take a genius to know that if US stocks fell the demand for oil would fall with it.
So oil-producing nations would naturally have a short position in our markets to offset that- it’s just a good and typical business practise.
The interesting thing is that there’s nothing anyone can do with money they make shorting our market (except using it as cash for expenses). Without us there are no markets LOL!
Interest rates will be very low as that money comes back to us- driving an improvement in our economy and then the world’s.
