#1 As someone stated yesterday on the Burg, "the market could be reacting to a potential Obama presidency." If McCain can turn it around, it will certainly be interesting to see if the market trends upward.

#2 "If McCain can turn it around.."

Since McCain is weak on economy and proposed more bailout money ($300 billion) against his many of his base, I don't see how the market would feel more confident unless he pulled a rabbit out of his hat. I hope he can, we all need some good ideas.

#3 --- I think participants in the market & those of us waiting on the sidelines have more confidence in McCain than in Obama as far as managing the crisis. No way to tell for sure, until the day after the Election.
--- Keep in mind that change is inevitable despite the Big 0's promises. Our predicaments will be quite different by Election Day, and also by Inauguration Day.
