Is this drop in the dow due to the world markets seeing BHO go up in the polls? Is the world afraid of an Obama/Pelosi government?

Thought?

Capital gains taxes are headed north under an Obama administration. I don't blame people for cashing out ahead of the election.

but his cap gains changes are only going to impact the top 5% of earners. He's going to magic it that way.

Then maybe he should leave the top 5% alone, look what they are doing to the dow. Nah, that would not win him an election.

The Dow along with the others started to drop like a rock when the libor rate started to go up.

Which is controled by other countries, Great Britian, right.
Thus my original question, is it because of the fear of an all Dem controlled government boardering on Socialism?

Very little, if any of it has to do with Obama, but I know your world you would like to think so.

Thanks, but looking at an Obama term, I can not afford to keep it. Make me an offer, please.

Then you might need to go ahead and sell it. If anything Obama does makes it so you can't afford it, you shouldn't have bought it anyway.

I am asking the question.....and yes, I dare say "my world" will be impacted much more than yours will.

Most of it is over the dramatic slowing of the credit market. Some of it is due to all the doom and gloom reporting (“if it bleeds it leads” applies to the stock market as well). Also I believe the SEC allowed a short term ban on short selling to expire.

Talk about a "missinformed comment". But I really appreciate your concern. It is paid for by the way, just trying to get it sold before the BHO tax hikes kick in.

Don't be so sure of that. My world will be impacted because I know I am going to be paying more taxes, but I am prepared for it and know it is inevitable due to the mess we are in now.

Kills me how some are spouting this doom and gloom if Obama gets elected yet have conveniently forgotten about the idiot responsible for most of this mess and the fact they voted for him twice.

This is far, far bigger than either of the two men running for the Presidency...

You are showing your true grasp of the economy by trying to correlate those two.

Just asking the question...do you have an answer or just an second grade comment?
I do not claim to have any grasp of this situation but thanks for playing.

Actually, you are correct. It's been my thinking all along that it's not the Dow collapse that caused the surge in the polls for BHO, but the surge in the polls that caused the major collapse in the market, except for the initial correction for the credit crunch. The big players on the street; the hedge funds and the institutional investors know what an Obama presidency will do to capitalism as we know it.

I have heard this theory alot in the financial expert ranks. Why do you think that this is not getting more press?

because it can't be proven and anything particularly negative about BHO will have to be proven beyond doubt for the greater media to make it an issue.

Second, I just don't think it's a strong enough linkage to make a good case.
