if Democrats pick up Senate seats, then GOP loses majority
unsure how stocks would like that
such a shift no longer means pickup in liberal spending
instead likely seen as veto of Bush Iraqi policy

if GOP picks up Senate seats, then a mandate to attack Iraq is likely to be concluded
so gold will rise, stocks will lose

ditto House
just a couch view really
we will see

most remarkable to me is the widely held view that the Fed can help the economy at all, and esp stocks

they ruined the economy, and esp stocks, by painting a picture, building a road, cheering as the masses filed onto the road, defending that road as it became pocked with holes, and to this day denies responsibility

why look to their killer agent for help?

the answer lies somewhere between utter desperation
and utter illiteracy, sadly
