It is amazing, there was a poll released over the weekend that showed president's approval at record low of 35% and public planning to vote democratic by something like 55% to 40% ( i forgot the exact numbers). I expected that poll would push the markets down, but maybe what we are dealing with here is a desperate attempt to push the market higher to improve the numbers. A cornered , wounded animal is the most dangerous. Now we know, that a gasoline price crash has been THE October surprise.

I'm sure they will goose these markets into November elections. It's not the public, and not investors doing it. It's the Fed banks buying SP futures with printed money. It's GS suppressing energy and other commodities by forcing the large speculators out of the long futures positions. One way or the other, it can't last. After the elections either commodities will sky, or the stock market will tank, or both. They can do this as long as they can overpower the naturally sinking dollar through the carry trade in derivatives. Naturally, this currency/bond market trade is headed for a blow-up. I expect 10-year rates in the vicinity of 10-20%, and the dollar down 80%, once this thing does blow up.
