So far, the presidential election has not impacted stocks, but that could change if Mitt Romney fades as the likely Republican nominee.

    LOL, oh please stop. This is just stupid all day long. They don't have enough to speculate on with oil, gold, hedge funds and the like. Now they want to try and pressure us into a President because the market might crash?

    A better title: Stocks WILL suffer if Romney is GOP candidate!

    Um the NASDAQ (the broader market) was over 2x the value in 1999. Stocks may suffer? How 'bout STOCKS MAY SKYROCKET IF RON PAUL IS ELECTED. Anyone ever hear of Jim Rogers, anyone, Bueller?

    Willard reminds all of us, when we were young lads,as we played "king of the Hill"on a pile of snow, as the lad who played with the young ladys at the teeter totters fearing the clash and sting of battle,nothing changed in his young adult life, he got deferments to keep him from harms way, a possible deployment to Vietnam. The last debate he talked of "Incomeing Fire"and he would "Return Fire", Willard has never, nor will he ever, expeirence incomeing fire, but Willard is more than willing to send our young people off to War, perhaps if he had served his country in harms way he would not be such a war monger.

    PROPAGANDA!!!! Yahoo and the rest of the liberal media just want Romney because he's a clone of Obummer! Libs win either way!

    What a dumb or short sighted prediction. Which ever candidate that is elected that can control spending will help the stock market in the long run.

    So, this article is implying that people are going to put their money in the gambling casino just because there is a chance Romney could be president. Romney as president means even less, if any regulations for Wall Street...we won't forget what that got us.

    Can anybody else see the desperation of the establishment to get Mit the nomination? They are truly afraid of Newt, ask why then ask again.

      I have the good fortune of having not only been alive while Newt Gingrich was speaker, but I also was paying attention. The last thing the fear mongers and greed scam artists of Washington DC want is Newt Gingrich for President.

    Ugh, I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the stock market tanks every time the goofball in the WH speaks
  • anonymous  •  3 months ago
    Man would I love to see a debate between Newt and Oblamer. What a mismatch. Newt has more intelligence up his rear end than the fool in the WH. Would be almost comical to watch!

    the stock market wavers at the least little hic-cup. by the time the election rolls around the market will have been up then down then been up again. i don't know how they can figure what the market will do. no body knows until it happens.

    Space aliens? Link: A Video
    The church teaches that everything starts on the Star-Base Kolob from whence we came, and everything will end on Kolob to which we shall return if we are worthy. We can return to the presence of our gods -- the Heavenly Father, his first wife, Mother Gonhorra, and the Other Wives. We'll return to the presence of Jesus, who is also Jehovah -- the Bible is wrong about this. We believe we are actually what is nowadays called "space aliens".

    In fact, dear reader YOU too, are a space alien because you arrived on our beautiful blue island in the sky directly from the planet Kolob. [Another space alien.]

    The Bible teaches us (Genesis 6.4) that even today, God's sons, (the giant Nephites) , travel to earth from the planet Kolob, to have sex with Mormon women
