I'm not so sure about that post-election hypothesis. The markets always see some volitility surrounding an eminent regime change, but this time
around we also have a very real hyper-recession in progress not to mention absolutely illogical volitillity the likes of which have never been seen
before.
(look at this to see what I mean:
en.wikipedia.org... You have to go all the
way down to #9 to find one of the largest intraday point swings that has occured in the DJIA that hasn't happened in the past month. 10 of the top
20 have occurred in the past 20 days of trading alone and virtually every other day in that span has had an intraday swing that would have put it on
this list before the month started.)
There is no guarantee this is going to hold together until after election day. We're trying to hold onto an overfilled water balloon while wearing
gloves with shards of broken glass glued to them.
