Be ready with your puts, shorts, etc. Look for climbs in healthcare and markets that cater to the self-centered. Defense contractors, law enforcement/prisons, high-tech, energy are going to take it in the shorts.

Once their guy is projected the winner, the media will need to make him look good; so I expect them to go into hyperdrive talking up the economy. When Clinton was elected, this process started on the local all-news station about 8:00 PM election eve. This replaced their Bush-era format that included hourly "homeless reports".

If the public hears nothing but "Happy days are here again", they will respond; and the "news" will eventually become a self-fulfilling prophesy. This should provide some fumes to keep the economy running for a while--until the full effects of socialism kick in.

I'm selling all my stock, I'll be damned if this MARXIST/MUSLIM/SATAN is going to get 40% of my dividends or stock or interest on anything! My cd's & savings will also be liquidated!

Newsmax has been predicting a stock market crash, watch it! No sense in keeping the stock, he'll tax it to oblivian!

A risk-averse investor would no doubt slough off your suggestion as the sour-grapes partisan jibe it would appear to be.

Serious investors have learned (sometimes the hard way) not to let their political emotions interfere with sound investing principles:

Why It's Risky to Mix Politics and Investing

Sell on the rumor, buy on the news (when the rumor and news are about something bad). The bad economic news of Obama is already factored into the market. Just look how much it has dropped over the past year. With any and all uncertainty about Obama’s election gone, businesses and investors can start working on how to cope. Look for the market to soar over the next six months to a year.

Yes, Marxism is, and will be bad, but it will take the Marxists more than four years to kill the American economy. And if the Republican Senators can get and keep a little intelligence and backbone (a bit “if,” I realize), then the Marxist march can be slowed a great deal.

Yeah, futures down. Shocker. Check this: DOW Futures, -324.00.

I’m thinking that the market will fall 500-600 points tomorrow. Maybe even more.

Anyone?

So, the Dow was down 486 points today. Granted, some of that was non-election issues (or at least, that’s how the MSM portrayed it), but I can’t help but think that at least some of it was that smaller investors didn’t really expect that BHO would win (and maybe some of the bigger ones too), and now that he has, they realize that their investments are more at risk than if McCain had won.
