Betting markets also moved in her favor after the latest FBI letter. After Trump's surge in the polls last week I considered parking my investments into a high interest savings account until after the election. Did anyone play it safe and get out of the markets? I do think Clinton will win and the markets will rebound on Wednesday, but I have read predictions of an estimated 10% overall decline if Trump wins, 3% of which has already occurred over the past few weeks and a further 5-7% drop shortly after election day. I did. I pulled 90% out of the market right at a month ago. I was up 8.6% for the year and one of two things was gonna happen - 1. Hillary would win and the market remain relatively flat or 2. Trump would win and the markets would tank. Made no sense to risk losing the 8.6% I'd made chasing maybe another 1/2 a point. Until today it was a brilliant move as I avoided huge losses. Markets up about 2% but the were down 3% from a month ago...and the day is not over. I'm guessing there will be a sell off near the end of the day with people wondering if Trump can pull off an upset. It's 4th and goal with Trump down by 4 and 2 seconds left on the clock....... |

What's that? Like 1 1/2%? I find it dangerous to try to time the markets, especially with something like a 401K, so we're just riding out whatever chitstorm hits. Sept 2008 the market started tanking....I lost a lot of money....it looked like BO was gonna win and I pulled the plug and bailed. The markets continued to nose dive and I avoided tremendous losses. But I was late getting back in on the recovery and missed a lot of it. A buddy of mine has about the same amount in his 401k as I had in mine. He rode all the way down and all the way back up. About a year after the crash we compared balances an were about equal. So, your advice is sound if you are in for the long haul and have time to recover. I plan to retire in about year or 2 and so want to avoid a crash. If the market goes down 10% I will start buying back in and hopefully ride it back up. But always dangerous buying into a falling market. |

I do think Clinton will win and the markets will rebound on Wednesday, but I have read predictions of an estimated 10% overall decline if Trump wins, 3% of which has already occurred over the past few weeks and a further 5-7% drop shortly after election day. I got completely out of the market a month ago. I have ridden every storm for 30 years.......and the last 8 years I made a lot of money in the stock market. Two things led me to get out right now. First, I'm going to retire in 2-3 years so I'm not willing to ride the down times as much as I have been. Second, and it's related to the first, I think the market is overvalued and there will be a correction no matter who gets elected. I think with Trump you will see a big drop on panic selling, and if Clinton gets elected I think we'll see a loss as her problems mount. I'm not opposed to going "all back in", and I will.....I've got a number in my head I was to see it drop to.....then I'll be back in. If it doesn't go there, I'm happy with where I am. |

Yeah, we're in our 40s, so there's time if this goes to hell in a handbasket. I 100% see your reasoning. for getting out. Edited by jmhpsu93 2016-11-07 12:18 PM |

lol, both of those polls were just release 30 minutes ago. It's not about finding polls that suit me, it's sharing what the latest polls are. I did see that RCP has included these guys in their averages before so they "seem" legit. **edit** sorry they were released a couple hours ago. Edited by tuwood 2016-11-07 4:32 PM |

Pro 9391 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Election 2016 I'm only adding this because we have talked a ton about the various Trump "assault victims". This was the big knock out blow against Trump that was scheduled to drop last Thursday with a press conference, but it was canceled at the last minute. Anyways, after month of claiming that Trump raped her when she was 13 she is now confessing that she made the whole thing up. There were several reports that also came up last week that she was paid $500,000 for coming forward, but her attorney denied it.

Today the parking lot is full! Must be 200 cars here. I've never seen it like this. I'm in Alabama so Trump will roll over Hillary like a crimson tide. One or two counties will be blue the rest will be solid red. Roll Tide Edited by Rogillio 2016-11-08 7:08 AM |

Have to hurry up and get stuff done so they can get home and sit by the furnace. Down south we do things slowly because it is so dang hot....and we don't want to overheat. |

It had to do with not wanting to fight 4000 high school kids for a parking spot at 8:00. hah |
