“Post-election nerves” aren’t the main factor in a stock market that’s been widely swinging for sometime and because of Bush policies; Today: “”I think what is happening in the market is a continuation of really the last few weeks,” said Subodh Kumar, global investment strategist at Subodh Kumar & Associates in Toronto. “The markets are still incorporating the slowdown in the global economy.” Worries about the financial sector intensified after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. began to notify about 3,200 employees globally that they have been lost their jobs as part of a broader plan to slash 10 percent of the investment bank’s work force, a person familiar with the situation said. The cuts were first reported last month. Goldman fell 8 percent, while other financial names like Citigroup Inc. fell 14 percent. Commodities stocks also fell after steelmaker ArcelorMittal said it would slash production because of weakening demand. Its stock plunged 21.5 percent. Although the market expected Obama to win the election, as the session wore on investors were clearly worrying about the weakness of the economy and pondered what the Obama administration might do to help it. Analysts said the market is already anxious about who Obama selects as the next Treasury Secretary, as well as who he picks for other Cabinet positions Analysts said investors were also uneasy in advance of the Labor Department’s October employment report, to be issued on Friday. Economists on average expect a 200,000 drop in payrolls, according to Thomson/IFR. Employers have been slashing jobs after a freeze-up in the credit markets crippled many companies’ ability to get financing. Late-day selling by hedge funds helped deepen the market’s losses during the last hour. More selling by the funds is expected to weigh on the market ahead of a Nov. 15 cutoff for shareholders to notify fund managers of their intent to cash out investments before year-end.”

Okpulot: …post-election nerves… I wish the stock market would get over it. It dropped even more today. Maybe it will rally tomorrow… just call me Pollyanna.

Ditto Marva!!! One of our nation’s greatest economist (and a Nobel Prize winner) Paul Krugman wrote in his NYT column today that the ‘Monster years are over.’ Amen to that.

“Besides, I do not drink from a glass; I am a savage Indian who squats then drinks from the stream of life.” And how is all this working for you? Honestly, you criticize so quickly about Rainbow Power dealing in non realities, what does your above metaphor conjure? You really think the stock market would be soaring had the election gone your way? I thought you were all for reality and truth. The truth of the matter is the stock market/our economy is going to take more than a little time to build back up again. And how much is my 401(k) account worth on this Mr. Rogers day? Why, I’m an old fashioned kid, I keep my money in my mattress or hidden in a hole somewhere. And I don’t drink out of glasses either. I drink out of Mason canning jars because they’re cheaper than glasses and serve several purposes. That said, I choose to see my Mason canning jar half full. I like to be hopeful. I and the rest of this country have already been through enough domestic terrorism for the past eight years. Now excuse me. I have to go out and put a bridle on my unicorn and go for a ride.

Okpulot Tah, Respectfully, its President Elect Obama. Deadbeat Americans? So you and yours keep all your profit to yourselves and don’t do charity? Charity is for deadbeats huh? McCain did not win, he did not win, not win…..no win, did’nt happen, no. Andromeda Jakes
