You are crazy :rolleyes:

If anything Ron Paul wins would cause short term losses in the markets.

Important decision makers in the markets hate uncertainty........They would be much happier with the status quo.

"Win" as in "First place among GOP candidates" or "win" as in "outperforms 'establishment' polls" and/or "gets third place or better"?

any sign that ron paul movement is gaining traction will cause wall street to sell off large. ron paul wants to put the country on a diet, and we all know how unpopular a diet, however necessary, actually is. a move towards gold as a currency will restrain the markets tremendously. the entire financial system has been built on unlimited monetary growth fueled by derivatives. a economy growth rate on a gold standard is very limited and multiples smaller than the current us system.

Wall Street is not going to move big on election news at this point, maybe after Feb 5th.

Friday will only be about one thing, the jobs report. Everything else, and I mean everything, is meaningless in the face of that piece of data.

A Ron Paul win in Iowa would not cause a rally in the US equity markets. The uncertainty caused by the changes proposed for the monetary system would cause a sell off.

Helluva clear-headed post. Watch out though, blind-optimism rules this board.

You've got it backwards actually. Ron Paul would restore value to our currency. Since there's no value in the currency right now, it means solid assets (goods, inventory, etc.) are worth MORE. As the currency deflates, the assets have inflated. When that trend is reversed, the markets will fall, but you'll be able to buy more with fewer dollars again. For the poor and people living on fixed incomes, this will be good. But for Wall St. speculators, you can expect a decline -- especially anything defense industry related.

It would cause a spike in attacks by the Old Media.

A Ron Paul win would cause a crash on wallstreet...trust me on this one...I've been involved with the markets for a very long time. Wallstreet is fed by the money printing machine, a Ron Paul win would put an end to that game.

You're not in the market then. And yes, I am.

The market is crying out for Ron Paul to win. If he wins Iowa, there will be a small rally, but not 570 p.

Yuck, you're so wrong. A few stocks like Halliburton will plummet, but Wall St is wanting a guy in the WH who understand money. Many have said they want RP to win.
