U.S. stock futures down as Democrats take control

We will be out of the market by the end of the day.

Money markets and CDs will be no brainers as we enter the a rerun of the Carter years and first two years of the Clintoons.

Heck, I might even buy a fair chunk of Gold investments to prepare for bigger and worse 9/11's on a regular basis. But hey, GW is being punished now.

That cartoon is as dead-on as dead-on gets.

[auto power]

DO NOT BLAME US....WE VOTED REPUBLICAN.

Don't stray into the 3rd party threads ---we have posters here celebrating the GOP loss.

[pepperdog]

Not to worry, it'll all be made up in tax increases :^)

George Soros bought and paid for this election

And our side gave it to them

I hope they can live with the mess they've made ... because we are soooo screwed

[TennTuxedo]

You can count on tax cuts not being made permanent, taxes increasing, and the economy stalling. All just in time for the Democrats to place the balme on President Bush during the campaign for the 2008 Presidential race.

Poor timing and leadership on the part of the GOP.

[Grampa Dave]

What happened in May was just a preview of what will happen now.

We got out of all of our ETF's and 2/3's of our mutual funds. We will probably keep a couple of mutual funds which did okay during the Clintoons and immediately after 9/11.

Our FIDO money markets are bringing in over 5% now and will go up. We can buy a lot of CDs via FIDO paying good interest with short terms re the time of the CD.

We're headed toward another good buying oppty.

That cartoon describes where we are and where we are heading.

Let them gloat .. because there is no way in hell I will vote for McCain or any 3rd party nut they come up with

[D.P.Roberts]

The market looks to open down. Some will say it's because of the Democrats taking the house or the uncertainty over the senate. Some will say it's in response to being overbought the last two days. Who cares? It's another cheap chance to take a long position in a rising market.

Listening to paranoia from people who can't read balance sheets never made anyone a dime.

"The liberals and haters thinks this country DESERVES to be punished."

They are going to get their way, and it may be the last way.

Here is the headline we won't see today "DemocRATs Take Control; Retirement Accounts Lose Billions in Value."

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The market will be down. The media will NOT attribute it to the leftist win.

[musikman]

Not to mention your TAX CUTS !

[P-Marlowe]

And then when the political winds shift again, as the always do, those cheapo shares will be worth a lot more, won't they?

Just give amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens and those winds will not shift again in your lifetime, if ever.

America is on a course to become a province of Mexico.

[NonValueAdded]

Good for those BUYING, Huck, but not for those trying to LIVE off them.

Some of our younger relatives, who have been doing very well since the tax cuts started listening to Savage and the other Bush haters and sounding like them.

I told one this weekend, if he thought the repubies spent money like drunken sailors, he hadn't seen anything until Pelosi and Reid/Clintoon/ take over.
