    I was hoping you'd stop spewing ignorance after the last election, but I guess not. Do you plan to keep doing this for the next 4 years?

    Basso deserves an all out ban from D&D to get his out of his...

    Or at least start an education fund for Basso so he can learn the basics of economics and politics.

    I meant the reason for the drop. the headline could be markets take profits after pre-election run up (edit) and on continued weak economic data.

    It does seem to - for you. If you don't understand the stock market, don't post about it. It seems like faily basic common sense. Regurgitating Drudge is basically the definition of spewing ignorance.

    It barely dropped that day.

    Link

    The drop likely is related to Obama winning. People are afraid of his capital gains tax increase, although I think it would be a larger drop if people hadn't been losing money in long-term holdings. This won't be a long-term thing, but it isn't surprising in the short-term.

    O please the markets been running for the last 3 trading days prior to todays drop... and there was basically no retracement on the close to 1000 point run up last week..

    even election day there 300 point run up...

    there is just way too much bad news coming out... for the markets to be up... for this long...


    most people were looking for entry points to short... not go long...

    If the market people didn't know that Obama was gonna win until last night...they should only be investing monopoly money.
