Yes, one who talks bad about the bought and sold system and wants to serve the people won't get that pool of money from big business. Pretty obvious, right? Most thinking people would see that as a major positive given the state of our current bought and sold political system. Unless you like being used?

And talking about insanity.....you dems/hil supporters, now on the bush team who you blamed with the infamous "it's bush's fault!", now back that same money source, ie the controlling source.

You guys, seriously....it's hilarious to watch the "we hate bush/those evil republicans!" yet you are now playing the same money source and it's ok!

Funny and sad the denial flow here.

"economic wreaking ball?" Please tell me what mega billion $ company you created/run and then you might be able to talk.

A happy customer with politics being a bought and sold system/doesn't serve the people. The intelligence level sure is high in the "educated one's" corner.

I can talk without owning a billion dollar company. Trump does not have any experience in running a country, and his proposals to impose massive taxes on imports shows it. It will cause the price of consumer goods to skyrocket and it will also start a trade war, which will hurt exports. He wants to cut taxes and he also called for a $500 billion stimulus bill to fix roads and bridged, which it straight out of Obama's play-book.

I am sure you'd rated deflect and talk about someone else, but to answer the obvious, he was running the United States as a part of the US Senate.

Trump's economic ideas are a wrecking ball. I can't afford him.

The hedgies got to make a few more bucks off the little guys before the rates are raised in December and the markets crash. If Hillary is elected she will have 'something to do' - give her rich elite supporters a chance to take more money from people's retirement accounts!!

YAY!!!!

There has been the biggest outflow of money from hedge funds since 2009.

They are pulling out their money so that when it crashes they can get back in and ride it up again.

I wouldn't trust your retirement money in this market. I don't and am sitting on cash to put in when it tanks.

Gotta play like the big boys on Wall Street to make it - while a democrat who only cares about the elites - is in office.

Good luck out there.

I need to learn how to manage it. It's currently outside my scope, but it's on my agenda to learn. Anyhow, we rely on Wall Street. It's a part of our economy and allows us to live as we do. So, I don't strictly hate on WS. I do think regulation is key and while current reform efforts need to be improved I'm definitely not on board with Trump wanting to deregulate.

Which source is this (the balded) speculation based on? Average funds are giving returns of 3%, which is half of what S&P is giving, so why should they stay in?

The stock market is suppose to encourage investors through successful business practices.

If you want to own a part of a company you can and benefit when it does well.

The problem is with the government giving away money with low interest rates it has turned into gambling. This is mostly done by the super rich on Wall Street. Most regular folks contribute a portion from their paycheck but don't know what is going on. Wall Street has been cycling through the industries over the past few years - they pick healthcare and ride it up then take the money and run, then they move to utilities and ride it up and run, then onto tech stocks....

The cycle continues and the only winners are them unless you happen to pay close attention and buy individual stocks (as oppose to mutual funds) and move your money around.

Gone are the days when you could just sit back and relax.
