Sounds like investors are saying something. No "questioning" here.

My thoughts are that this is exactly what Barry and his commie friends want.

It is clearly Obama’s fault.

Obama is such a great liar! It’s an art form.

The market has only begun to vote....a capitalist market cannot exist in a country with a Marxist government.

Too early... Shouldn’t judge anything based on one day of trading in an already volatile market. I have a feeling the it’ll stabilize once investors get over the initial shock. When the market does inevitably take a dump, it’ll happen once Obama starts trying to enact his socialist policies.

I took the last of my pennies and went home today. When I told the advisor it was because of Obama, she acknowleged I wasn’t the only one spooked! (I don’t think she realized she was being racist! LOL.)

I totally understand. I have several family members in the military and I feel last night every a$$hole that voted for this jerk put my family in danger. I wish nothing but bad for all of them.

These morons voted like it was American Idol. Ask the President of Ukraine if he thinks this is an effing game.

This is the manifestation of a nightmare.

The markets will probably bounce up and down until Jan.-Feb. and when we find out they are really going to raise taxes and kill jobs it will drop like a rock.

How do we explain the 7000 point drop before the election?

Freepers wishing harm on the United States because Obama won are simply disgraceful.

I have seen posts today - rooting for another stock market crash - hoping Russia moves missiles to the border of E.U. just to test Obama - and many many other Anti-American posts.

Reminds of of DU when they “hope” the war fails. Really a disgrace and black eye for freepers.

People better be careful what they “wish” for.
