Sorry if this has been repeated a zillion times... but yes, I've been telling everyone about what happened at the end of Clinton's presidency. Foreign money in our markets is HUGE, and it pulls out in advance of a presidential change just to be safe. It goes back in our market after the presidential change, regardless of who the new president is. (At least this is my story and I'm sticking to it.)

I thought of this too, may mean nothing or if Mac loses look for a hard down the 5th.

One good thing about time seeming to go faster as you get older is, I still remember the last election pretty good, and the comments - i.e. gloom and doom - on FR looks amazingly similar to the last election.

Yes, and it does seem like 2006 again, doesn't it? Still people making rose-colored-glasses, Ostrich-Brigade comments, too.

Dow futures are turning negative. -61, not terrible, but lower than what it was an hour ago.
