Think there is any coincidence that the market has been down when Bush was ahead in the polls, and it rallying now? TP, If Dubya wins, you think I can go short on QQQ, long on Oil/Oil Services company and veryyyyyyy long on HAL? Please give me some investment advice.

Gomer needs someone to tell him to dig a foxhole or do some push-ups. Too much time on his hands. He should spend a little taking a finance and/or economics course instead of posting his random babblings.

<<What is needed now is to retire those Federal bonds that take up so much of the budget in interest payments. Then the government expenditures will be less, and a meaningfull tax cut will be appropriate for the right reasons instead of all the wrong reasons at the wrong time.>> I used to believe that, pay off the debt. But after listening to some major $$ guys, the debt isn't all that bad. It does provide safe harbor for money and in that way supports the markets. Plus it hasn't drug down the "greatest market in history". Also a tax cut brings more tax revenue due to higher incomes.
