Could there be people manipulating the market to hurt the Republicans? I always felt that was done in 2008, but it just seems odd that the market has taken these big dips over the last month or so.

The market is too big for anyone to manipulate it.

The fed can manipulate it. Announce a rate hike and watch the fun on Wall Street.

You'd be surprised at how little it takes these days with the automated programs out there. I saw an analysis of the market swings of a few weeks ago, and it was amazing how small a push it took.

The market's a crap shoot on a day to day basis, and has been for a long time. I'm buying long term, not looking at daily, even monthly ups and downs. As long as it's up when I'm finally ready to sell, I'm good.
