Asian Stock Markets are assuming a Hillary victory.

Huge buying was seen today afternoon as reports came in that Hillary's lead is intact.

But nothing should be taken for granted, every vote counts. Let American Democracy win.

The Dow really jumped as well after Coomeys announcement of nothing new / no charges.

Oh Pleaaaase, give me a break.

The S&P 500 was down for 9..that's NINE.. count em NINE...count em again..NINE straight days. The longest streak of DOWN DAYS since 1980. The S&P 500 finally has an UP DAY and the partisan BS starts spreading that the market thinks Hillary is going to win and caused an S&P 500 rebound! Hahaha

"“The S&P 500 has closed lower for nine consecutive days, the longest streak since 1980."
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nasty-election-obscures-5-bullish-facts-about-the-stock-market-2016-11-08

There's lots of lunatic stock analysts writing for MarketWatch, for Bloomberg, for every major reporting house and brokerages and they're mostly wrong! They're wrong about the direction a stock or sector is going or, they're wrong about the TIMING. Both are fatal for making money in the stock market. People who rely on their nonsense should ask themselves a simple question! If you know what the hell you're talking about when it comes to the Stock Markets...why the hell aren't YOU RICH???

Hillary didn't make the S&P 500 go UP!

Oh jwhop, what am I gonna do with you.

Yes it was on a long losing streak but the announcement brought the loss around to a gain.
Dow surges 371 points as FBI clears Clinton on eve of election

On the eve of the U.S. presidential election, the Dow closed up 371 points Monday after FBI director James Comey said the agency is not recommending criminal charges against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over her emails.

The broad market broke a nine-day losing streak, Wall Street's longest in 36 years, as investors again started to price in their base case of a Clinton win and split Congress.

In a letter to lawmakers Sunday, Comey said the FBI is standing by its original findings, made in July, that Clinton should not be prosecuted for her handling of classified information over email as secretary of State. Comey, of course, had roiled the financial markets back on Friday, Oct. 28, when he sent a letter to Congress saying he was reviewing more emails tied to Clinton found in an unrelated case.

The S&P 500 closed up 46.34 points, or 2.2%, to 2131.52, snapping a nine-session losing streak, its longest skid since December 1980. The losing streak was caused in part by a tightening in the polls, as Wall Street had been pricing in a Clinton win before Trump's surge in the polls. The broad index has wiped out two-thirds of its losses it suffered in nine-session swoon.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 371.32 points, or 2.1%, to 18,259.60. The Nasdaq composite finished 119.80
points, or 2.4%, higher at 5166.17.

It is a clear consensus by all Analysts in Asia and Europe that a Trump win would crash the markets and a Hillary win would maintain the status quo of the market. I too was a bit surprised at the power of the relief rally.
I guess a Hillary win would cause a 3-4% uptick before stabilizing.

Meanwhile, a good news for JWHop: Trump is all set to win North Carolina as per early voting patterns.

The stock market was due...after a prolonged down spiral...for a rebound.

The markets go up and the markets go down.
The markets move on the opinions and sentiments of "stock investors" not market analysts.

Anyone taking stock advice from analysts need their heads examined. They're going to get burned.

One last thing. Options trading is considered a risky business...and it is. Most options expire...worthless. That's the reason most brokerage houses require a certain degree of stock market investing sophistication before they will open an options trading account for investors.

And to wish all the nasty women and deplorables the best!

This nasty woman voted two hours ago!

Unfortunately, I was trying to sleep part of the day, because I was up all night. So I missed out on a beautiful day (saw the beginning of it), and the excitement. I was number 506 at my place - big turnout here, with more people arriving as we left.

Our Presendial election is always a big get thgether as our village only has 202 voters. I was somewhere in the middle as I did my volunteer stint first.

It rained and gales winds all day here so glad you had great voting weather.

It was raining by the time I went to vote, but the day was gorgeous.

You don't want a lower bracket. You wanted Hillary's plan.

Here's your day after stock market CRASH...brought on by a Trump victory!

S&P 500.
2,156.01
+16.45 (0.77 %)

Dow 30.
18,498.06
+165.32 (0.91 %)

Nasdaq.
5,233.08
+39.59 (0.76 %)

Ummm, I guess the Stock Markets didn't get that memo!

Update: Stock Markets closing numbers

S&P 500.
2,163.26
+23.70 (1.11 %)

Dow 30.
18,589.69
+256.95 (1.40 %)

Nasdaq.
5,251.07
+57.58 (1.11%)

Looks like the stock markets like the idea of a President Elect Trump.

European markets seem to approve the idea too.
