I'm calling it... DJIA +500 on Wednesday.

[GSLevel9]

at the return of their dedicated toadies and protectors...

[virtualobserver]

1. or minus 800

with a surprise dem win

[flamingdem]

2. I predict down 400, buy on the rumor.. nt

[Pirate Smile]

10. True. They have already assumed a Republican House is coming & that is already "baked in the cake"

as they say.

[elleng]

3. But the Dow INCREASES under Dems; does anyone KNOW this?

[rucky]

16. Maybe they hate taxes so much, they'd prefer to write off losses...

instead of paying capital gains.

:shrug:

[elleng]

20. 'They' don't, they actually know what they're doing, tho don't like to pay tax.

imo

The professional repugs are the hateful ones, ANYTHING for power.

[geckosfeet]

4. the markets hate uncertainty - one way or another they go up

[Davis_X_Machina]

5. They won't stay up, though...

...not when rumors that the new GOP won't vote for debt ceiling increases.

We may see a down Dow for January, and that doesn't happen often

[geckosfeet]

8. Maybe. Think the dji will drop below 11k?

[Davis_X_Machina]

14. I think it likely....

....we're due for a correction anyways. I thought the Dow should be at 8750 when it was at 14,200, and I thought the Dow should be at 8750 when it was chasing 6000. Why change now?

[still_one]

6. If the repukes take over one or both houses, it won't take long to realize that nothing will get

done, and at this time that would be the worst thing for the economy

As for what the dow will or will not do, it all depends on the manipulators, quant funds, uncovered puts, hedge funds, and flash trade

7. DJIA -200 on Nov 3rd

Wall street sells when news is out,
buys on anticipation of news.

[toddwv]

9. There will be a Republican bump

Followed in a few months by another Republican induced recession.

[golfguru]

12. I think the bump is already priced in

with the recent rally for last 3 months.

[onenote]

11. another example of why one should not rely on DUers for stock market advice

[BlueMTexpat]

18. +1000! n/t

[prolesunited]

13. Why would the market go up?

The GOP sucks at running the economy. Plenty of graphs to prove it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. The Markets Will Be Flat

I remember watching the "markets" when the Senate refused to convict President Clinton of impeachment charges. The "markets" hated impeachment because it threatened a status quo that was working for them; they were making tons of money. When impeachment failed, nothing happened, because it was expected. The markets usually move on unexpected developments; like foreign currency crises, planes flying into buildings, et cetera...

[denimgirly]

17. Markets have already taken that a GOP win into Consideration -- so dont expect much

i dont think there will be much movement. It will be up but not by much seeing as how most have already expected the repubs would win big so they already jumped on the bandwagon for months.

However if the dems hold both then u can expect a big drop.

[scheming daemons]

19. The GOP win has already been cooked into the numbers... if they win, the change will be small

But if Dems win, there'll be a selloff.

[onenote]

21. We have a winner!

Also post number 15.

[discopants]

22. +500?? you were only 480 pts off.

This thread is so lame. :)
