<<Dow down around 300 points! Sure.......... this market reaction has nothing to do with the current crisis>>

What caused the market crash that originally brought the DOW down from 9300 to 8900? Crystal ball readers anticipating the release of the Starr report? Come on now, let's not be simplistic. The main reason the market is so volatile is that there is no stability in any economy in the world right now. Unless you think that is directly related to Clinton, you are really reaching here. By the way, I never said the Clinton crisis had NO impact, only that it wasn't the main or original cause of the market drops. If it were, there would have been all-time-record-one-day increase right before the drop. After all, nothing had changed in Clinton's favor. In fact, the release of the report was widely anticipated, and should have caused a continuing collapse based on your logic.
