Stocks Finish Day Down 313 Points

Ugly day on Wall St!


It's a Full-Scale Crash!

Dow now down 280 points. This is not a sell-off! It's a crash!


From Bad to Worse

Dow now down 245 points, S&P 500 trading below 1400 for the first time since mid-August.


Post-Election Crash!

Following the election last night, stocks rallied after the re-election of Obama seemed assured. Wall St seems to love Obama and his big-spending ways.  But then crashed again during the European session. Dow down 180. Ouch!

Prepare for the worst, and even that may be better than we expected.

No News Is Good News

Today is election day, but there isn't much news to influence the financial markets. Despite the dearth of news, stocks (Dow) are up 140 points.

We're back in the mode of "ignore the fundamentals and buy". It's a Pollyanna Party day!
