    I realize that IBM is not in the S&P, but it is a Dow component and near its 5 year high. It has had a great run.

    First of all, I am not a Democrat and will not vote for a Democrat.
    I think most investors had a strong feeling that between now and election time, the Republicans would apply extreme pressure anywhere and in anyway they could to boost the market. They are having some success it seems. However, they can do the most in controlling commodity prices. Getting them down as we see happening now. Low and high estimates as needed to influence commodity prices, along with personal pressures applied to those in most control of the targeted commodities. No telling how low we will see some go in the near, but hold on after 2008.

    A Better Place: Almost everything you said is utter nonsense. If you voted for Bush you are partly responsible for the current Bush Recession.
