Will Stock markets stabilize after election?

[DNP]

What do you think will happen after the ellections and until the end of 2008. Will U.S. financial markets get the momentum they need to mount a sustained rally, or at least regain some stability...?

 

[dolansco]

I would like to think yes ... but only time will really tell

Just remember Bush is still in office until January 20th. Just hope he doesn't screw anything more up until then.

 

[Chuck]

I don't expect any drastic changes will be seen short term. Possibly the best thing to hope for right now is it levels out a bit and the markets don't get any worse.

 

[ezimedia]

HI

No it will be long term... before we see any major change.. 12 months from now...

I just hope what I feel (will not happen) think back 67

Still many up and downs like a roller coaster.

The market will react positively initially. But the failures of industry sectors will continue as we see auto makers and airlines go under and the jobless ranks continue to swell at what could be all time records.

The housing market is still in shambles with 1/3 of all properties on the market are bank owned/foreclosure properties.

To make up lost ground on the indices is still a long ways off for normalcy.

I think the markets will react positively as it reacts to the selection of Obama's policy makers that will shape the future.

 

[HarveyJ]

Of course, the frustration of positive reactions in the market is that you get people that think they've just made a gain, so they sell out again, and sends the prices downward again.
Dead cat bounce, they're called.

Like Doc Com says. It'll be a roller coaster for a little while yet before things get calm again and slowly inch upwards with only short drops along the way.

Markets will stabilize when they are ready, not when you or I are ready...the faster you accept that principle the sooner you will profit from it

 

[Theo]

It's Clinton and Obama's fault.















NOT!

Absolutely true ...... anybody that truly watches the "worldwide" stock markets and/or has international investments realizes it is a global situation so fanatics that blame Bush are just "wrong again". We are just a piece in the puzzle.

We elected a new president last night and today the Dow was down 5.05% and the Nasdaq was down 5.53%. Should we blame Obama for that? No......

In October -the Dow Jones Industrial Average had its worst month since September 1931. It was clear in October that Obama was likely going to be the President according to all polls - is it Obama's fault? No......

no

Look for signs of life come summer 09.

You are a wise man

It will never recover it's a goner, but the new green market has already started. You will start seeing big biz making very big investments, in going green as trillions are up for grabs.

This market crash is a good thing, it was the markets clearing the books. Take note how oil prices dropped faster then it sky rocketed, big oil stock took as big of hit as well. And big oil has started down sizing already as well, wind power been selling as fast as they can make them.

They are just now regrouping as well as moving ahead, auto makers should be able to do really great. Home builders and contractors, green techs will do great in the stock market. And electronic makers and many others, looks for big drops in wind power and solar power hardwares.

They got a window in witch to make a killing, and they will lower the hardware prices to sell large amounts. Also many works will be needed, to make all this stuff put it all up also look at getting ready to handle MMGWing. Many things will need to be done, much of the states have started already.

Things sure pick up around mid summer of next year, it will all start going faster after that. There is much going on right now, that not been in the stock markets at all though. Since obama is going to hit the ground running, that should speed things up a bit and by his terms end. Things will be going along very good, my guess is he will get another term. He has made it clear going green, is on the top of his list.

But don't look at a recovery this time, it's a change over to a new market. At first things will move slow but upwards, then things will start speeding up. This time people will be ok at first, and keep getting better to it reaches a point, then new techs start selling stocks and stuff.

My guess is many big biz's have stuff planed out already, as they seen this coming a mile away. This is why they needed to clear the books, and regroup so they can start moving into a green market much faster. Like auto makers I'm sure they can get autos, upto 80 to 100 miles per gallon in a very short time.

You are wrong Larry..... the Obama capital gains tax increase will cause people to sell their stocks to avoid a 33 1/3% increase on any gains they had.
:hurt:

Who said dat?

 

[JuniperPark]

No.

The markets are down because of the extraordinary debt and extraordinary level of fraud and corruption from bankers, the mortgage industry, Realtors(TM), and borrowers.... not just because we had an ignoramous as a president.

The damage is severe, the numbers are beyond anything in history. It's silly to think a $10 trillion debt is going to suddenly go away in a year, we will be paying for this damage for decades to come, and the stock market will reflect that.

 

[Compassion]

I do not expect stability in the markets.

The volatility index may not be maxed out the next three months, but do expect similar ranges in day to day trading. 4% to 10% +/- in one day of trading is still likely.

 

[Gerry]

The american auto makers are going to be a huge massive drag downward on the entire market.

There are some calls to let GM go under simply because of all the previous bailouts and promises to retool, get better, and become profitable.

The same for Chrysler.

This will be devastating.

At one time Toyota had approached GM about merging and GM rejected this.

Now Toyota itself does not appear to be in a good position to consider this. They are doing better, but even they are starting to suffer some setbacks and monthly drops in sales.

I think we are in for more major bad news from the auto sector, airlines, manufacturers of goods (think Boeing, Catepiller) and other sectors.

Many reports that I have read lately now has analysts concerned about and talking about deflation which is viewed worse than inflation.

The over-night bank rate is at an all time loan, goods are stockpiling because people are not buying...autos, appliance, durable goods...not just here but abroad. While they sit unwanted, the value of such goods at some point will have to be sold at or well below cost of manufacture to move them. They essentially become deflated almost to the point of worthless. And those companies are exactly the ones that can not afford more poor quarters and write downs.

Soon these stockpiles will force production line cutbacks, layoffs, and plant closures.

Yes, this collaspe is not over. It could theoretically get much worse.
