Watch the Investment Markets Closely Today

Last time I checked , Smith and Wesson was down a Whopping 13 % !!! Bob

Man, you are just losing all your perspective. Those were just the top 4 biggest negative swings. There are several other examples of large swings.....negative and positive.

But even if you go with the just the top 4 I listed..It's NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR SMUG ONCE IN 68 YEARS COMMENT! I was talking about the DAY AFTER THE ELECTION. My top 4 examples go back 84 years...so that's really a population of only 21 Day After Election samples. So we're talking about 4 out of 21 OR 19%...Not 1 day out of 68 years.

Words and even deeds do have meaning. You just have to understand them.

It has happened once in the last 68 years. Not that difficult to understand, is it?

My ETP, RTN, and PFE are rather enjoying the day

The DJ futures last night were minus 500, trading was stopped. Today at last look was up over 300. Makes no sense to me.

Can't wait to be Downtown again!

I really hope Trump keeps his promise on lowering taxes, and regulations. create some jobs, put the other half of the country to work for a while and let them pays some darn taxes. I have worked 2 jobs all of my life, I am sick and tired of carrying that other half on my back. what happens with the stock market remains to be seen. I hope it move in the right direction and makes my 401k swell up. I think that Trump appreciates the voters that put him in the White House. no candidate can come through on all of their campaign promises, but hopefully he will do us right.

I said "the day after election day often sees some swings in the Dow Jones Industrial Average"
What is your malfunction Bill? Do you really not understand that I was only examining one day every 4 years...not every day for the last 84 years?

I showed 4 Examples of over 3 percent negatives swings in the last 21 'DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION'.

That my friend is 'Often' and I had more examples so it's even more frequent. It would be like a 3+ percent swing one day a week.

And you come up with this 'Words are meaningless' BS. Either you don't understand my point or you're just being an asshole. Which is it?

DonDiego concurs.

When Great Britain voted to leave the European Union lots of stocks fell, . . . and DonDiego bought one near its bottom. As the stocks recovered over the ensuing few months, poor old DonDiego made a few quick bucks. This time the entire process took less than 24 hours, . . . from the time Mr. Trump was recognized as the winner and futures plunged through the next trading day when everything recovered and then some.

Poor old DonDiego can't make any money when things happen so fast.

Has DD considered amphetamines?
