The stock market is not really an indicator of the market's important features such as job growth. It's been well overdue for a correction. Nothing to worry about.

No possible way. Instead, they will blame Obama.

Anyways, pre market ipo purchases have lots of risks, it is not always the great thing you make it out to be. Just wondering, do you get all worked up when a large company loses money doing high risk investments?
SEC.gov | Risky Business: "Pre-IPO [Initial Public Offering]" Investing
LOL.

Yeah.....sometimes it is a risk. But mostly it is not. And if you have millions, and can invest in 20 opportunities, its no big deal if 1 goes bad-thats not real risk. Instead its a massive early advantage that can only be used by the wealthy. The "scams" on your link? Those occur when the non-wealthy try and get a piece of it.

75 million votes for whomever is the Republican nominee - that's what is going to keep Democrats out of the White House.

Payback for nuclear Iran - that's what is going to keep Democrats out of the White House.
Payback for appointing Eric Holder Attorney General - that's what is going to keep Democrats out of the White House.
Payback for "What does it matter?" - that's what is going to keep Democrats out of the White House.

It won't matter what the economy does. The Democrats have shot themselves in the foot, reloaded and shot themselves in the other foot.
Lame Duck? No. They are wingless ducks currently at 10,000 feet.
Listen to them quack.
I think you're in an echo chamber. The people who elected Obama are either happy or ambivalent about those items you list.

A radical fringe has freaked out over - gasp - diplomacy rather than macho war, but they're not a majority anymore. We learned our lessons with Bush on that one.

A radical anti-life element fought tooth and nail to let health insurance companies dictate who lives or dies based on their income, but the moral majority fought back and won a major early victory in the form of Obamacare. Hopefully the next iteration will be even more effective.

You might be really young, but the economy utterly collapsed under Obama's predecessor. We're talking 800,000 jobs a month being lost collapse. The epic turnaround, while not perfect, is astoundingly good news for a nation that was mired in senseless wars and at risk of losing its industrial base.

Agree?

Slumping stocks another blow to Hillary
Seriously, democrats should be out of the white house. They have had it for 8 years. The only thing that would keep them out of the white house is if the republicans had another lame candidate like romney.

Not really. Obama's very similar to Reagan in how elections have played out. It's logical a 1-term Democrat would follow such a successful presidency as he's had.

Yes, obama has been successful on some things but he has lied to many to get what he wants.
