    Stock Markets plummet afeter health care ruling

    http://www.fool.com/investing/genera...x#.T-xyrcXVRxU

    After worrying for months about global economic trends, investors focused their attention this morning on one thing: the Supreme Court's decision on the Constitutionality of recent health care reform laws. Stock markets opened lower and continued downward on reports that the Court had upheld the key parts of the laws, including the controversial individual mandate provisions.

    -----

    This just guaranteed the GOP the Senate, 10more seats in the House and probably gives Romney the Presidency if he plays his cards right.

    So it is safe to say the op is a retard?

    Tough to vote for either guy. Obama hasn't delivered on a lot of promises and really difficult to back a guy named Mittens who really has not voiced opinions of his own.

    “The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent.”

    John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ), former professor of economics at Harvard, writing in ‘Money: Whence it came, where it went’ (1975).

    Jesus, didn't even look at it yet today. OP - are you fukkin' simple? Dow skyrocketed and Nasdaq is up 3%. I happen to believe it has to be more about Europe talking Unity than Obamacare.

    Man, I watched my stocks yesterday after the announcement, and the medical sector freaking soared. Other places were usually average.

    Today, it is up everywhere. Except for the few stocks I own in asian companies.

    It doesn't mather that stock prices are going up because the value of the dollar is going down by much more.

    My advice is dont invest in the US. Buy gold or invest in foreign stocks.

    My advice is that you don't ever give anymore advice.

    The US is the safest investment in the world right now. I'd give US treasuries a AAAA rating if I could.

    No, the market could give a crap about Obama or politics. They care about making money and only making money.

    Yes, anything bad for Obama is good even if it hurts the country.

    I wouldn't count on that. Both camps have a shit ton of cash. Both will have easily reached "market saturation" levels in the swing states by Nov. By that I mean it probably won't matter if one side spends a billion an the other only 800 million in Ads.

    If I were pulling for Mitt I'd be counting more on the voter ID laws to help him more then the money the Super Pac's will spend.
