    Default The Obama Dump

    Obama is victorious, and the markets are responding by selling off.

    Some think this is more a reaction to Europe than a reaction to Obama. European markets were down by a similar amount. The US political concern is the threat of the "financial cliff" if budget reductions cannot be agreed on by the end of the year and the basic players in the budget battle (which engaged in brinkmanship on the Debt Ceiling debate) are the same- Obama president, Democratic Senate with Republicans enough to fillibuster and a Republican House. Nothing really changed.

    Lol! Now that is funny. Europe has been a disaster for years. This was about Obama.

    Default The Market Sell-Off has Begun

    300 points off the DOW so far. With capital gains going up (up to 20 percent) and with the regulatory noose tightening in a myriad of sectors, expect the sell-off to be steady until the end of the year. Some analysts are speculating an end of the year S&P 500 of 1250.
