Hold on tight!

Foreclosures are on the rise.

Better yet, simply walk away. It’s better to rent than own.

Cash and gold for me! Though I do have PLENTY of stock exposure too.

It’s going to be a rough 4 years no matter who wins. A poisoned chalice is what Bush hands the next guy. It’s just that Obama will make the next 4 years MUCH rougher IMO.

Good luck all! Great post! NoQ rocks!

The economy – What lies ahead

was fantastic. Not just for the election politics, but because our economic health has a very real and direct impact on our national security – as unfortunately, we (the general citizenry) are starting to learn way too late and oh so painfully.

Enter your 401 balance, and the calculator on this site will show you how much it will GAIN with McCAIN and FALL with ObaMAO.

Anyone notice that as soon as the polls had Obama over 50%, the stock market plunge to new lows. WHen the race was almost tie, the stock market was doing fine. It seems whenever the MSM show polls of Obama winning, the stock market dips. I think many people are taking their money out of the market because they know an Obama presidency means higher capital gains. The market is fearful of an Obama presidency with a democrat control congress. The stock market will do better when John McCain poll ratings get better.

Whenever there is a republican control congress the stock market does well. WHenever there is a democratic control congress the stock market tanks. Even if the president is democrat and the congress is republican control, the stock market does well. I think investors are taking their money out of the market because they know Obama will increase the capital gains tax. The fear of a democrat president and demcorat congress is scaring investors. Ever since the DEMS took over congress in 2006, the stock marke thas been up and down.

For the first 2 years of Bill CLinton term there was no growth under a democrat congress. For the next 6 years of Bill Clinton reign under a republican control congress, there was good economic growth. Vote for divided government.

Are you better off than you were 2 years ago? It’s the CAPITAL GAINS STUPID!!!!!!!!

WHen this election is over, it will be the largest case of election fraud in American history. The American election system has been hijacked by foreigners and the radical anti AMerican lef. Obama is a pawn in their campaign to bring America to her knees. I hope patriotic Americans will wake up soon and take back their country. No foreigner should be allowed to influence your democracy as has been down in 2008. I fear for a world where AMerican dominance is replaced by an Eastern imperial power.

But, even as Obama plays the people’s choice by building his war chest in two- and three-figure increments, he is also relying on a growing cadre of young, eye-poppingly rich hedge-fund and private-equity managers to keep him at the head of the money primary.

During the first quarter he nearly doubled Clinton’s take from private-equity firms–$85,350 against $47,900, according to the magazine Private Equity Hub–and, with $479,209, he placed first among candidates from both parties in giving from investment banks, many of which run their own hedge funds and private-equity operations (Rudy Giuliani, the runner-up, got $473,442).

These stars–what New York magazine calls the “baby bundlers”–are helping Obama tap into Wall Street’s fabulously rich elite. His most recent catch is the relatively gray-haired Paul Tudor Jones II (he’s 53). Head of the $15 billion Tudor Management hedge fund, Jones is holding a 500-guest event for the candidate at his Greenwich, Connecticut, mansion later this month.

The event will mark Obama’s entry into the hedge-fund winners’ circle: Greenwich, the toniest of New York exurbs, is home to more than 100 hedge funds–and, as one observer told the Financial Times, “The whole of Greenwich is backing Obama.”

McCain seems to be someone who will be able to listen to different opinion about the economy — in fact he will probably seek to hear all view.

Obama — it knows it all already — and unless he is worshiped first he’s not about to listen.

I imagine now, he is correctly managing expectations downward. And if he didn’t do so we’d have a slow bleed affect that could dampen confidence over the long term.

Retailers get crushed today along with credit card companies as markets realize the consumer is going to stop spending.

Yeesh.
