False dilemma spotted.
Anyway, Republicans have done a bangup job fixing this:
Surprise, surprise, surprise! Rooters is always the last to know.
If Romney wins, the markets are going to go wild. Investors are going to feel unleashed. Capitalist are going to capitalize our economy, and we’re all going to get richer. Energy, if allowed, could make us a very wealthy nation again. We could redistribute the wealth from nonexistent to produced. Vote Romney.
Who knows.
T is down and going down. NLY is down and going down. Does that mean Obama will win and raise taxes on dividends? Maybe we will know more tomorrow.
If Obama wins, I will predict the whole market will be down by Jan due to tax selling for the 2013 tax increases. The market going up today is a good sign if they are willing to look danger in the eye and buy now.
If heaven forbid Obama wins a second term, I bet the market will lose at least 600 points on Wednesday
How much of that productivity is due to greater use of machines, instead of humans, to do certain jobs, like in the auto industry, and some heavy manufacturing?
Taxes will be going up Jan 2013 even if Romney wins AND if GOP lose senate, then, TAXES will be staying up. Fiscal cliff here we come...
How much of that equipment can run without human input of some kind. The same human input whose wages have been severely lagging for the past 30 years?
eta: Hi SuziQ how ya been!?
That’s one reason I figured we’d see a big sell-off late *today*, nobody wants to be in a long market position when a disaster of epic proportions is about to hit.
But we didn’t have a sell-off even though the trend was noticeably down after 3 PM.
Maybe traders do know something good.
Why are you worried about the fiscal cliff? Don't you want government spending drastically reduced?
Surprise victory???...LMAO!
“Not sure what they could know that we don’t. But maybe?”
Look at that chart. Right when the people below came out of the “quarantine room”, the market popped.
At 11 a.m. today, representatives from the consortium of news organizations that sponsor the National Election Pool will enter a “quarantine room,” where they’ll look at data gathered via exit polls, Michael Calderone reports.
Six hours later, staffers will be permitted to start sending data to their respective news organizations, while additional exit polls, especially on the West Coast, keep coming in.
The news orgs represented — ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox and the AP — can report general trends but cannot report the results of exit polls until the polls close. Anne Cronin at Politico has made a handy map showing the times at which the individual states’ polls close.
Reuters reporter Lisa Richwine says the quarantine room lacks phone or Internet access. At 5 p.m., the quarantine will lift, and the representatives will be able to share their data with their respective organizations.
Reuters is so cuuuuute.
