As expected..........
U.S. stock-index futures fell Wednesday as traders digested the re-election of Barack Obama as president.
Dow futures slumped 110 points to 13090, S&P 500 futures slipped 8.8 points to 1417 and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 10.5 points to 2665.
As expected, the presidential race was hotly contested, and Wall Street has been paying particularly close attention to this election because of the broad-ranging economic and business implications.

I wish it had been a WTF happened moment. Unfortunately the majority got exactly what they asked for, and deserve. We just got the shitty end of the stick.

To add insult, "they" are still holding the clean end.

No, about 58 million knew exactly what would happen. Most planned for this and will weather the storm, though with less of their money.Jim wrote:Millions of Americans just woke up thinking: "WTF happened?"
About 61 million don't know how the stock market works, don't care, and are busy running around yelling "OBAMA! OBAMA!" at the top of their lungs. After they sober up they will then be pissed that those white Republicans are 100% in charge of the House and Senate and stopping Obama from doing everything he can to fix the mess that the white Republican president created one year ago.
Fucking Republicans!
OBAMA! OBAMA!

The DJIA is off 121 today.
Looks like the Senate remains in Democratic hands, while the House stays Republican. Alan West's seat is being contested -- we shall see.
