How did you do in the market the last two days?

The media likes to blame drops in the market on anything and the election is no different.

I lost about 8% yesterday but gained about half of that back today.

Probabaly nobody did very well

I don't actually have stocks, but for my econ class we have to 'pretend' like we buy stocks and keep a portfolio and such.. and my stocks all went up yesterday (anywhere from 1/4 a point to 6 points each), save for one (which only went down about 1/16)..

About the same, down then up.

This election is affecting the market, not in who is going to be elected but when. Unknowns are bad. If this goes on too long then it will become moot and the market will go on.

I've been down both yesterday and today. Hopefully it will pick back up soon. :-(

Gotta agree with TBM: the markets don't like uncertainty, especially for something as important as who the next president of the US will be. Heard a quote on NPR this morning that said that most analyst think that Bush would be better for the economy than Gore (they didn't go into details on this), but IMO *any* more stability than we have now would be good for stocks.

I'm riding the coaster up and down with everyone else.

You gained 4% today? The market took a major bath today--all indexes were down with heavy volume. You must have some lucky picks to have had a net gain!

Personally, I am afraid to look at my portfolio lately... I don't feel like crying.

I have been doing good, the election turmoil has help me since I have been shorting the major indices. Also I have made money on the dollars weakness making the euro stronger.

My investments are down both days. Glad I got about 30% in cash and bonds. I don't trade much, just rying to ride out the storm. Guess I should do some buying but not really sure what.
