The markets sure seem happy

about the Democrats taking over congress. I tuned in CNBC and Blomberg, they both had on analysts on that said hearings about * , Rummy or The Dick would not effect the market. The markets are more concerned about the deficit, inflation etc..

1. Dems will balance the budget.....Markets have a history of going up under Dem leadership

3. Yeah, maybe they're stretching their memory alll the way back... to Clinton.

2. Someone on Bloomberg

asked about the investigations of corporations and they answer was only for those who have gotten government contracts like Halliburin so they aren't nervous at all about a dem takeover. They spoke about gridlock too and how the pres will veto, the markets love gridlock.

4. Recent merger announcements are fueling the increase today

It was on Marketwatch and Forbes web sites.

5. I know that it's not allowed.............

but have a third party buy and hold euros for you today and tonight. once * hits the fan there may be a "correction". Gold is too expensive, but euros are safer, and can be used if you have to get out of Dodge.
