Bulls cast their ballots early...

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>
Please remove this from breaking news. Thanks for the information - I am not a market expert. I thought there might be a huge sell-off if it looks like Obama might win. There appear to be many reasons why the market is up today so take this with a grain of salt.
I don’t have clue one about what makes this market go up or down, whether or not Obama makes its leg tingle, or McCain makes it sizzle, but I do know an Obama win Carterize everything.
No, they don't.
Your first comment is absurd, and the second is wishful thinking.
It means that if Obama gets elected, they get more money from the government. They can hardly wait.
The market knows, huh? How about being more specific, like, are defense stocks getting hammered? Are coal stock getting hammered? Are alternative energy stock increasing? What are government bonds doing?
Buy on the rumor,
Sell on the news.
“But with an Obama win... it will come back down, and then some.”
Yes, especially when the reality of The One’s economic plan comes to light with the madness of tax hikes on the horizon.
And Unleaded Reg’lar is down to $1.879/gallon.
AND, I voted for McCain-Palin and got a free cup of coffee from the leftists at Starbucks. Bwahahahahahahaha!
I wrote “generally.”
The markets have been for crap since Mr. Bush was elected.
The Dow on 12/30/2000 : 10786.85
The Dow on 11/3/2008 : 9323.89
Regrettably, the markets could be driven today by the optimism of very rich investors counting on victory for the anti-Christ. Folks with financial assets of more than $10 million tend to be more liberal, and often, the richer they are, the more liberal they are.
Govt. bonds flat.. This is a McCain rally..Period.. Stocks are leading indicators..
>>>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.
After my icy stare she poured it anyway.

Wouldn’t a better starting point be the day after the election or when President Bush was sworn in?
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?
