+1. The impression I got was that the Euros were scaring people more than the US gridlock potential.

So what's the consensus? Good time to buy or time for a tin foil hat?

CNBC article:Why Stocks May Keep Falling: 'The Sugar High Will End'Why Stocks May Keep Falling: 'The Sugar High Will End' - US Business News - CNBC

Quote:
"The sort of risk-on risk-off for markets that has dominated basically since the collapse of Lehman Brothers is coming to an end. Selectivity is returning," said Lee Ferridge, head of macro strategy for North America at State Street Global Markets. "What we're going into and what we will see for the rest of the year and in 2013 is a much more domestic story. In stocks that's going to mean individual stories. Stock picking could come back."

5 months of expenses gone on post-election day for me. Easy come, easy go, like they say.

What if the Oracle of New Orleans made a silent Wh**** that we did not know about? Or perhaps she made this proclamation on the mod's exchange that we are not privy to? Excuse me for being suspicious, but there has to be a reason for this.

Anyway, on any day, by market close I already know how my stock positions fare. Then, I have to wait for MF reportings, which are about 2-3 hrs after market close. My wife's 401k proprietary funds came even later.

So, the game for me after market close has been to guesstimate what the gains/losses of the MFs and wife's 401k funds would be, then see how close I get when the real numbers come in. I am usually reasonably close, but do not know for sure until the late evening.

On the good days, the numbers just keep adding up as they come in. On a bad day, the pain keeps piling on. What excitement!
