    I think most money managers have positioned themselves for a Bush win. Most meaning 2/3. If Bush does in fact win I believe a nice little rally will follow, however I think that a if Kerry wins those same money managers will now have to reposition their investments and a "sell-off" will occur. Not a total crash but just an adjustment. The money will still be in the market but the appearance of a sell-off and panic may strike a nerve with people and the dominos will fall. I personally think Kerry will win and the latter will happen so I am waiting.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK?

    It is so tempting to step aside. It seems silly not to since there is a good chance we may not have a winner tonight. So why? Why won't I do it? :shock:

    I can't seem to pull the trigger. There is so much talk about the market falling if we don't have a winner that it makes me wonder if it reallywill drop. Seems likely but.... Also, we are no more uncertain today as we were yesterday and if we don't have a winner tonight, it's the same thing.

    I know! Maybe I'll go 50% G, 50% S for one day. Thanks tsptakedown! I wasn't going to make a move but now that you made me think it through, I think I will do that.

    I'm thinking about this. I'll keep my eye on the stock ticker over the next 45 minutes and see if any more lawsuits are filed.

    I might pull it off the table and wait for the inevitable pullback down the line... hmmm.

    Edit: I convinced myself to jump to safety. The shares have moved up so much since my last move, I have to lock in the gains. There's too much downside risk with the possible election tumult and lawsuits. Plus that would provide an excellent buying opportunity.
