Want To Know Why The DOW Is Up?

[ThomWV]

Its because the market respects stability and sensibility in Government and the thought of the purse strings being controlled by adults gives rise to optimism among investors.

1. LOL yea right

I would sell now if you can cause when reality starts hitting the market its gonna be one hell of a ride.

4. We know a lot of bills will suddenly come due and that

the republipricks will try to blame it all on the new Democrats in office. Expect a recession in 2007 and no recovery until the GOP is completely out of power.

The economy has been unsustainable since the 80s, with more paychecks sent offshore every year and only easy credit and inflating housing holding most families with their heads above water.

You can't export the paychecks and import debt and expect the good times to roll on forever. A lot of people are going to get a harsh lesson in practical economics. Some of them will be the right people.

2. Yeah, and Look Out Below if the Rethuglicans Steal It Again

3. Statistically speaking

Democrats are good for the stock market. But try telling that to Repukes. Facts and reality don't bother them one bit.

5. I think it has more to do with making money, personally.

They don't really care about who governs what.

This is ok.

Doesn't even matter -

I am sure of one thing - don't own drug stocks on Wednesday - I'll tell ya that.

6. Lots of things drive the market

But, as one poster revealed, the market always does better under democratic rule as opposed to republicans.....much better.
