Uh-Oh: As Election Results Come in, U.S. Futures are Falling

Nov. 6, 2012 8:43pm Becket Adams

It’s definitely too early to read into any of the data, but it wouldn’t hurt to pay attention to where U.S. futures move as the election results continue to pour in:

I am tired of people’s complacency… Too many people on the Republican side just admitting defeat. Stand up! Lead the way. Show hope and encouragement. There is going to come a time when people realize what they have done and the one’s that have real plans will have to be ready to clean this mess up.

  You can’t lead within a political system where elections are rigged.
  
  When the country eventually decends into the inevitable revolution that’s coming that’s when you’ll see the real leaders. When there is actually something that can be accomplished that isn’t constrained by the limitations of a rigged political system.

  The change will come from leadership within the communities across this nation. Those communities that have fallen for the progressive dream will fall further and further in debt only to face bankruptcy in their future.

Is anyone else truly afraid of what’s going to happen?

  Yes. Remember Jaret? those who were against us, we’ll be getting even with? A small part of me hopes my worst fears happen, just to show the Liberals what they’re up against. I wonder if they realize they’ll be the first to go…always happens.

  I am not afraid I am terrified. Two things first we have unleashed obama and evidently the takers have enough organization to destroy this country. I am listing to a talk show talk about obama concerned about his legacy? They still do not get what this man is. look to his origins and friends and you see what he is.

A truly evil, and vile man has been sent back to the White House, with another man, who does not know where he is half the time, and he is a heartbeat away!!!
I believe America, as many have known it, has died!!!
Now the people that just want stuff, will get what they want, but at what cost?

  Well, with the fiscal cliff coming, and a THIRD downgrade looming, DO learn to can food in season, plant a victory garden if possible, and use what income you can spare to set yourselves up for massive INFLATION. Those who remember Carter, will be like that but quadruple the problems . AND let’s get busy taking our country back – keep Congress’ feet to the fire.

  America as I knew it died a long time ago. What’s happening right now are just the prolonged death throws. It is essentially a hostile takeover by outside interests, but we set ourselves up for it. We literally erased common sense from the dictionary and replaced it with political correctness.

  How are we, having handguns and shotguns go against the best army in the world would win? It would be a slaughterfest.

Look for a deadlocked congress and presidential signing statements. The constitution died today. Anarchy is coming to a neighborhood near you. Arm up America.

The markets are going to crash, and Obama will love it. Unemployment will skyrocket, and Obama won’t give a damn because he knows that means he has even more power over you. Have fun in your poverty and slavery. The really wealthy people will just hold on to thier money as you Obama voters starve.

  But here is the sad truth. The markets are going to get really active and the stock markets are going to go up dramatically over the next few weeks as investors try to position themselves for when the capital gains tax increases in 2013. The market will also go up as it always does around the holidays as people shop and spend more money for gifts and travel. All this will be interpreted as the market’s approval of the re-election of President Obama. The media will tout this as proof that the people got the election right. But then shortly after the change of the year we face a scary combination of increased taxes and decreased market activity as a result of said taxes. I hope I am wrong.

I am completely at a loss on this one. I expect the markets to drop dramatically over the next week or two. I really thought that the good guys would win this election.

Being a private trader, and currently watching the above market (the December E-Mini S&P500) in real time, as well as the election results, anything could be made out of the falling market during overnight trading. (Just now it spiked dramatically higher!)

Many traders in a market such as this do not want to carry positions into major news events, such as the outcome of an election like this, so if they are “long the market”, they will flatten their positions until after the event, and then get back in.

  I have been homeless since 2006. It’s not so bad if you have a motor home, a trailer or a tent that you can live in.
  You will learn how to survive off the land and live with less than you ever thought you could.
