Comey just caved - 11/6/16
Comey backs down - 11/7/16
fwiw, regulars on the investing thread are well familiar w/ aaallll the times the futures pointed one way and markets proceeded to go the other.
Does it help hillary? With those still undecided, it’s possible it’ll help convince them that the system is rigged.
Comey confirms that the system IS RIGGED-—11/06/16
Should make Bernie supporters happy....NOT.
Agreed.
LOL what a joke the stock market is.
Stock market is an ass.
Top o' the morning! Isn't this easy? Stocks drop 9 in a row but volume's been dropping also; MY TAKE: we just fell back to a support that had been a ceiling from April-June --and all this time we've been sideways/flat.
Gold got itself swatted down to $1,287.70 after pecking up over the $1,300 level, the all knowing futures traders say they're now -0.27% in contrast to +1.57% for stocks.
Consumer Credit comes out today before the opening bell.

“Open high close low”
It draws inthe suckers money. The trend is your friend and the trend is down.
It’s not clear to me that it improves her chances. This move in the futes seems like a fake-out, part of the propaganda campaign.
The real issue is that we have entered an earnings recession. And the market has deep structural problems.
Furthermore her crony capitalism (e.g. "green" energy) will reward the current Obama winners at the expense of the rest of the economy. Same with health care: obamacare was a huge boon for "health" conglomerates like United and big practices that are buying up small independent doctors (the independents have no choice in the matter).
I think the opposite. Anyone undecided already missed that she rigged the vote against Bernie so that’s out the window. Meanwhile, today will be a day of multiple media accounts saying it was just another partisan attempt to derail Hillary’s historic rise to the Presidency. Just the fact of being undecided means that person actually looks at Her Heinous and sees someone who should be in the Oval Office instead of a jail cell. I’m not saying there isn’t an argument that can bring a Trump vote, but I don’t think it’s that the system is rigged.
Like what?
The same thing happened with Brexit. Final poll showing a Remain win, and the stock market, along with the rigged betting went up. We all know what really happened. Praying for the same kind of outcome with Trump.
I’d wager energy, mainly petroleum.
And then some.
With oil prices as low at they are? I doubt it.
Yep—could be an overall bearish view on the economy, meaning that stocks would continue to be a safer place to park assets in a continuing low-interest environment.
Good.
A rise in the stock market today will add some extra padding to offset the subsequent (predicted) 25% drop day-after-tomorrow when it’s clear there’s gonna be a President Trump.
Manufacturing. Right now it would be foolish to tie up money for 10 years with the Fed trying their best to weaken the dollar (while pretending they will stop at some point).
