I figured the market would skyrocket if McCain wins — we’ll see.

Yeah, they know it’s almost over.

Market goes up no matter who wins. But with an Obama win... it will come back down, and then some.

How could the markets know anything we don’t?

I’m not saying its lost (I have no idea), but all the polls suggest at the very least an Obama slim win.

I would love to believe otherwise, but I don’t think this means anything — especially right now. The dow could be down 250 by the end of the day.

And the Bulls aren’t listening to the BS of Obama.

Doesn’t mean anything. This is a stupid vanity that doesn’t belong in the Breaking News section.

The markets usually know everything. Somebody may have seen the internal polls with McCain up.

It’s going up so they have a higher position to sell from once/if the messiah wins.

Well, it could be the end of the uncertainty about what direction the country will be heading. Of course, if it’s the hope-n-change direction, we’ll see a runup followed by a drop off the cliff.

I think it is a 'last hurrah!' and expect a sell off late in the day or tomorrow.

They know Obama will win, and that for a short time at least, a lot of naive people will suddenly be overflowing with confidence and enthusiasm and run out and buy lots of stuff they don’t need. Then said naive people’s next credit card bills will come, and they still won’t have bigger paychecks or lower taxes, and so they’ll be broke during the holiday shopping season, and sales will suck and the market will tank again.

The markets are up today because the uncertainty about who will be POTUS is about to come to an end.

Historically, the markets generally do better under a Democratic prexy than a Republican one.

Mr. Obama may be different.

Viva McCain/Palin!

Not really ~ just some hedgefunds unloading Russell 2000 stocks and picking up Dow bargains.

Everything normal.

Tomorrow it will be different.
