Market turmoil gets Barack Obama elected. He knows this and more importantly, so do his supporters. A survey released by Prince and Associates, shows that 75% of voters worth $1 million to $10 million are favoring John McCain, but of those voters worth more than $30 million, two-thirds support Obama.

I guess all these uber rich don't have to worry about THEIR wealth being spread around. FLAT TAX.

It's no secret that the majority of uber rich individuals despise the current administration and are willing to do whatever they can to get new blood into the White House; even if it comes under conditions of an economic collapse.

Many of them would love a market collapse. Lots of buying opportunities to be found while that messy blood is being washed off the street with high-pressure hoses.

I think this is an under rated theory. I think government investigations are warranted. This was an orchestrated terror attack on our financial system comparable to the WTC attacks.

If true , I had some suspections it would be Muslim money not Soro's and some real wealthy Americans. We are talking Trillions of dollars and its not limited US markets. I think we do have a real housing crisis.

Auto's were killed by high gas prices now by credit crunch.

The economy was set up for a total free fall by spring.

John Gibson and Mike Huckabee have alluded to this, that many hedge fund types are Obama supporters and are in positions to tamper with the market without any longterm harm to themselves or their massive wealth.

This was evidenced by the suspicious late hour sell-offs of recent days. It didn’t happen today, but tomorrow is another day.

This much is certain: it’ll all calm down after the election.

With Democrats in control of the House and Senate, and probably in control of the Department of Justice (certainly if Obama wins, but even probably if McCain wins), who is going to push for an investigation?

It's all too big for me. But it seems like the end of the world as we know it.

May the Good Lord deal with these individuals in his own good way. We look to Heaven for justice when there's none on earth.

you can only Buy High and sell intentionally low for a short period of time.

If ANY of this is true then crimianl perp walks are appropriate.

Soros promised that he would use his money to defeat Bush in 2004.

He was humiliated on that count despite spending huge sums of money funding 527 attacks.

He definitely has the motive. Buffet also dislikes Bush. Schumer was trying to tank banks by talking them down. There has been a relentless effort among the Bush reactionaries to destroy the nation.

Soros has been convicted of doing this with other national economies.

Yes. In the same fashion, it's been almost exactly eight years since I've last heard of an opinion poll that distinguished between a President's public performance and his personal life...

I’m no economic genius - I understand the basic concepts but that’s about it. This seems to make some sense, or at least be possible.

Can you elaborate?

I’ve never understood why uber-billionaires like Soros want people like Obama elected. Perhaps someone could explain this to me.

I would love to see them miscalculate and lose everything... and then get prosecuted! (But that’s because I’m a pyromaniac and know; that if you play with fire you SHOULD get burned.)

“I think this is an under rated theory. I think government investigations are warranted. This was an orchestrated terror attack on our financial system comparable to the WTC attacks”

I think you are right, like tossing a Molotov cocktail into a crowded theater, it’s hard to imagine that what happened wasn’t what was intended. It appears that people in a position to investigate have no interest in doing so, or in applying an effective remedy to the crisis, for that matter.

With those guys in there with their man Obama in charge we can be just like Putin’s Russia, oligarchs and a KGB mentality. Watch out opponents who are not billionaires and the Constitution will be a real hindrance to such a bunch.
