Stocks sink after new email review tied to Clinton

A market rally fizzled after news hit that the FBI is looking into new emails as part of its investigation into Clinton's personal email server.

The review comes just 11 days before the election.

At one point the Dow was down 125 points from its highs of the day. But the market rebounded as more information came to light, including that the new emails come from the Anthony Weiner probe. The Dow ended the day down just 8 points and the S&P 500 closed 0.3% lower.
Investors had been pricing in a solid Clinton victory. Now there's some doubt.

"Hillary Clinton's news has taken the wind out of the market rally," wrote Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Think Forex in a note to clients. "This certainly increases the chances and odds for Trump winning."

Remember the thought of Trump being President for a short time drops the market, Vote the stock market if you are near the fence or short the market if trump gets near the white-house!

1. The markets would crash hard with President Don Scion.

2. If the unthinkable happens

if Trump is elected, this market will drop 10-12,000 points in 2-3 days, and
world markets will follow

There is no doubt in my mind ...

9. I've already made contingent plans with my investments, if worse comes to worst.

I'll be damned if a Trump-caused financial collapse is going to wipe me out.

11. That would be great

Best buying opportunity of my life time

3. Amazing how "economists" can attribute a minor stock market change to a specific...

...event.

Today's volume was more than 100 million shares, and the DJIA dropped 8 points out of 18,100, about 5 hundredths of one percent!

Did all the people who sold/bought those 100 million shares say why they were doing so?

4. bullshit. The markets in a trading range. If there was a real concern for a trump

presidency as far as the markets are concerned, the effects would be very obvious, and it doesn't seem currently that way

5. Yup. The market has been liking HRC's chances and steadiness.

Markets do not like unpredictable leaders. Something Donald brags about.

6. My layman investment advice...

Buy now if its low. Because it will soar once the markets realize that the stable candidate has won the election.

7. Clickbait BS

and for the week before CNN's reason wasn't the FBI.

Markets fluctuate.

8. Dow currently down whopping 0.10 points as of this post.

10. It will come back

A reminder to all who follow the stock market too closely (or the polls in this election, for that matter) from one who used to post a stock watch thread daily here at DU--the best thing to buy is Tums, because you are going to need them! Let the most of it roll off your back and keep a long view.

Trump ain't gonna win, the 'scandal' is empty and we've all had our Halloween scare for the year.
