the Obama sell off....congrats

To all of you Obama lovers....futures are lower again. It's "risk off" as they say, as billions of dollars will go poof! Again today as our disastrous President is intent on raising tac rates for the top 2% WITHOUT committing to spending reductions....he knows and any other half wit should know It's a spending issue, not a revenue issue, that our country has to deal with....he's happy to take us off the cliff, I am 100% convinced. Thanks again to all u simpletons who voted for him.

Yeah, but that is only b.c Wall Street is evil and investors are the devil.

The constituents aren't getting off anytime soon.

I bet that there could be a grand bargain that would link tax increases to spending cuts...modest tax increases. BTW raising tax rates would garner approx 850 billion over 10 yrs, while Obama is running annual deficits of 1 trillion. Erskine/Bowles recognizes that spending has to be reduced dramatically....Obama's transformative vision for OUR country includes none if that. No entitlement can out do a robust economy. Obama doesn't know squat about business. Very scary sh*t...

Thanks for the commentary. We are talking about a fiscal cliff here....do u have any idea what that will entail? Guaranteed recession, and huge tax increases for ALL. Obama is a sh*tty legislator, and Reid/Pelosi are like characters from a bad movie...this is a national nightmare on the horizon and your response is "suck it up"??

If you were smart enough to put some money under your mattress a buying opportunity is about to present itself. As an investor for the long run the opportunity to buy good companies at lower prices is a very good thing.

I sold most of my equity positions the Wed morning after the election...betting on Obama at this point is not worth it. Up to the election it made sense bc Bernanke's latest round of bond buying in August boosted equities (and therefore consumer confidence #'s)...basically putting equities on steroids. That's over now. Obama's rhetoric on the fiscal negotiations has been enought to cause this "risk off" mentality among investors. Inflation hedges like Treasury tips and commodities are the smart play now IMO...

FF2, you are a simpleton w a sad life....but u know that already.

No, you're a simpleton if you sold most of your equity position based on the election.

Anyone who buys stocks, bonds or other assetts betting on the President of the US is a fool. I bet on the long term growth of companies and earnings based on innovation and long term sanity of the American electorate. Short term trades are simply guesses.

Most US companies will perform well over time because they have people in place who will drive their companies into the future successfully.

We don't always agree, but you are 100% on here.
I invest in America. I have no equity investments anywhere else. Slightly slower growth is still growth. I have not sold anything in 4 years. Why? Every stock I own grows plus they all have a 3% dividend. Some 5%+.
I only own boring stuff. And 2/3+ of my money is in bonds.
If I sell, I have to pay capital gains tax. And where do I put my money then?
