Close Dow -26.16 at 10629, Nasdaq -4.67 at 3027, S&P -4.61 at 1367: The market took heart in early dealings that the overhanging uncertainty related to the election was finally drawing to a close...

Despite the headlines, press conferences and special reports on the election, the market has been on the defensive for the last several months and a completion of this process will not alter the fact that the economy is slowing as are earnings...
