Bob- So, you don't think this large dump in the market has much to do with the attack on Clinton. I would assume, then, that you also feel the market would have had today's mini-crash even if the Starr report said that there was no evidence of wrong doing by Clinton, and shitcanned the report, right? The market has assumed now for about 1 1/2 months Starr would be delivering an "impeachment report" outlining perjury, obstruction, and witness tampering to Congress sometime in September. If there was no "substantial and credible evidence" and Starr did not deliver a report, that would be very unexpected news, and the market would have a tremendous rally.

<< I would assume, then, that you also feel the market would have had today's mini-crash even if the Starr report said that there was no evidence of wrong doing by Clinton, and shitcanned the report, right>> I notice you never commented on what caused the original 1,000 point drop in the market. Also notice that the market was well down yesterday long before any news had come out regarding the release of the Starr report. No matter how hard you try, you can't blame the market on Clinton's problems.
