It think it relates much more to Rehn's announcement of the Euro-zone crisis than Obama's election. A mixture of both for sure, but leaning much more towards the former.

Sure it does, because before the announcement investors had no idea there was a fiscal crisis in Eurpoe.

The European Commission made their growth projections today and it wasn't as good as predicted.

The whole economy of Europe > President Obama.

I also doubt it is much about the election, just the economic tanking in general world-wide.

Agreed. Germany's economy is slowing down.

Karl Rove, Bill Kristol, Dick Morris and Rush are liquidating their positions, causing a sell off, so they can move to Costa Rica or wherever.

I hear they are interviewing for support staff. Maybe you should look into that. :thumb:

Don't all those guys make MORE money with Obama still around..?
Maybe I don't understand how this works
I'm pretty sure they're in the business of division, separation and outrage... (Right..?)

Maher said tonight that comedy will suffer because of the outcome, but since the country will benefit, he will accept the reduced opportunity for comedy.

Glad I pulled 75% of my portfolio out of stocks on Friday of last week.

I'm not sure I trust Congress enough to get anything done before the "fiscal cliff," so I'll watch this one from the sideline with most of my money.

As of today, that looks like a great move. Did you see this coming?

My thought process was pretty simple. I was up 10%+ year-to-date in my portfolio. I had no clue who was going to win election, but I was pretty sure the market would take a hit if Obama won. I thought there would be a bump if Romney won, but I was happy to let it go.

I'll buy back in if this things keeps going down. If not, I'll gladly wait it out until January or Congress acts. I'll probably miss some gains but I'll still be up.

Eh, the market dropped a ton the two days after Obama was elected in 2008, and then recovered nicely for the next 3.5 years, even with the economy crawling along. The stock market is just a game these days.
