The MEDIA has CROWNED OBAMA KING!! This is a DIRECT effect on the future of our country with Obama as President!!!

The Hussein factor.

Wow! That bailout is certainly a savior. Thanks Mr. President! Can’t wait to see how your additional stimulus is going to work and save your legacy!

McCain was getting too far up in the polls...

Big Sell off! Obama makes market nervous! Sell now buy later.

As strange as things have been lately, the market may still close
up today.  These wild swings confirm investory hysteria, the
operative psyche of today's markets.


The goal for the 2008 Fourth Quarter FReepathon is nearly met.  As of
this morning we still had about $3 thousand dollars to go.  We can bring this
to a close quickly, if a number of us chip in $10 to become one of this quarter's
Final 300.  Any FReepers care to join in?

Let's end this FReepathon today.  Click the graphic.  Donate $10.00. 

Join us to become one of the Final 300.   Visit the Final 300 thread.

I believe it will be like this until the fifth, when people can finally get a feel for how the next administration will deal with this mess.

Any bets on how far it will drop if 0bama wins?

[a real Sheila]

Let me peek from beneath my tinfoil hat long enough to say
-I believe the markets are being manipulated by LOTS of wealthy people and leaders of countries who want to see BHO in power
-It will plummet and will stay down all next week to make folks VERY ANGRY so that they will VOTE FOR CHANGE without knowing or caring to know that CHANGE will be BAD!

[Eagle of Liberty]

So much for the BAILOUT saving Wall St!

[Red Badger]

Must......not....look....... at 401(k).... all day........

Honestly, you don't want to know. Despite what the "world" polls say about wanting Obama as president, the world markets know if he is president our country will become even more unstable and as such so will the world. I would expect several market crashes within 6 months of Nov 4 if that happens.

[Red Badger]

Well, there is one HOPE! It can’t go BELOW ZERO!..........

Have to disagree. I think that people are selling and waiting to see if America is stupid enough to vote for a socialist, because if Obama wins, it will be a crushing blow to capitalism and Wall St knows it.

Or one huge one..................

Saved by Zero

My college buddy at Goldman Sachs said the markets are freaked out about Obama, but that no one will say anything about it because they are afraid of repercussions for their firm once he takes office. Chicken shits. There won’t be a free market if that Marxist seizes power.

Karl Rove on Cavuto yesterday said that when the market does this it’s bad for McCain. I turned off the show after that remark.
