Construction minority contracting is one of the investments I've become involved in. Paperwork’s a huge hassle, but the margins and lack of competition make it very profitable.Quote:

This means they started the Redistributors reign at 9,525.28, 1,005.25 & 1,780.36 respectively. Care to make a wager as to where they will be located when the election day ends 4 years from now? In real terms, not just Up or Down, as there were nothing but High expectations from this point, as there were yesterday when it was still felt McCain had a chance.
Maybe a return to the Bush years of 14,000 before the D's failed policies came into effect (talk about creating a mess & being rewarded for that action) or will it sit at Dow 17,500, a mere 25% gain for the 4 years? I'd like to hear your take on where you think things are going.
Please don't say you don't know as you have no crystal ball, please remember you bought into a candidate without a track record of accomplishment so you apparently have those powers.
Well with Obama wanting to tax Corporations and wealthy more here in the USA, international might be better since they already have 2 times multiple advantage due to taxes and regulations, and an 11 times multiple advantage when wages are factored in.Quote:

Henry, your article does not contradict me. I was repeating what I heard said on CNBC on Tuesday when the pundits were discussing on how stocks closed up 300. They mentioned that is also always closes up the day after the election because of the resolution of the uncertainty caused by the election.
The pundits were talking about one day -- the day after the election. Your article is talking about the election year and trends.
Here is a link to Cavuto saying the same thing on video -- CLICK.
Well, it appears I was wrong when I said "always," but in my defense, I was just repeating what I heard on CNBC.
NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Wall Street hardly delivered a
rousing welcome to President-elect Barack Obama on Wednesday,
dropping by the largest margin on record for a day following a U.S.
presidential contest.
The slide more than wiped out the previous day's advance, the
largest Election Day rally ever for U.S. stocks.
The following table shows the percentage rise or decline in the
Dow Jones industrial average .DJI, Standard & Poor's 500 index
.SPX and Nasdaq composite index .IXIC on the day after a U.S
presidential election and who won the Election Day vote.

By the way, right now I feel pretty darn good about my vote. See my thread - This could get ugly.
You can argue till the cows come home about Obama's lack of experience, but Palin takes the cake. I voted for what I thought was best for the country, not my personal pocketbook or my "values."
