What are we closing at today?

I wouldn't necessarily give the election to Obama quite yet either... If the Democrats have shown us anything the last 50 years, it's been how to snatch defeat from the claws of victory. Only one democrat has received more than 50 percent of the popular vote since 1950 (LBJ in 1964). I think it is going to be a closer race than many people think.

Agreed, the bubble has spanned both Democrat and Republican presidencies.

Looks like we might close below 11,000 today...

I'm making a killing in SKF. Up 8% today.

I'm totally missing out and I'm loathe to short the hole here.

Stop it! You guys are scaring me!

Is it time to buy gold, guns, and ammo?

Time to buy Ramen futures?

Wouldn't hurt to do more preparation for another Great Depression. I've still got some things on my to-do list for that. I'm not planning to buy a gun; if it gets to that point then we're all f****ed anyway (the gun owners just a little later). In the long run the US needs this, to stop or at least slow the destruction of the middle class. I have faith that the voters will pull their heads out when push comes to shove, like they did the last time. Hopefully today's renters will come out ahead of the game.

The best way to survive another Great Depression? Enjoy being frugal. Most of us here probably already are. Oh, and yeah, Ramen futures.
