Have faith my gentle snowflakes, the future is our oyster...

[MazeRat7]

So, the markets closed about an hour ago and I have been surfing the MSM channels and blogs since to see "whats up".....

FWIW, I make my mad money making bets on how the faceless will respond to some event. Generally the faceless are "the street", but at the end of the day
if you want to make money in the markets, you need to understand the players (the target fundamentals) and the emotion (the traders).

So, I guess the point of this post is that if I were going to make a "trade" on the "earnings report" due out after the polls close, I would have been
buying call options most of the day. I don't usually bet wrong when I detach emotion from the trade. If I were brazen enough to actually trade futures, I would
be betting on our team right now... really heavy.

So again, FWIW... I'm am convinced this is our election for many reasons. Too bad I can't easily put my money where my mouth is... but if I could I would.

Have a great election eve everyone.... I'll chime in later as appropriate.

4. I don't think I've ever

been called a snowflake. But I think I like it. Fairly short shelf life, tho.

Thanks for the optimistic prognostication.

5. Yes, we are all unique in our way.. Welcome to DU!!!

As for the shelf life thing... I would rather be unique and beautiful for an instant than common and average for a lifetime.

*peace.

6. Lovely sentiment

or should I say "good save"? :D

And thanks for the warm welcome. My first. I've been here a long time, just not as a member until Skinner threatened to not let me in tonight. Kinda glad he did, as it turns out.
