I actually agree with that on the economy. I will say that typically when the economy is bad and there is a presidential election with a change in power .... history shows the stock market rallies on the hope of new programs that will stimulate the economy. This is going down in history as the worst post election decline of the stock market on record. Yes I do think it is related to Obama because he never put any clear programs of his "change" on the table and everything he talked about including raising taxes, increasing the capital gains tax, more social spending, anti oil drilling, anti coal, anti neuclear .... all does not sit well with investors. Additionally all are not things that would stimulate the economy.

He needs to go on record and fast, that he is putting this on hold until the economy is back on solid ground. If he did I think you would see the markets turn around and fast.

If anyone does not think a falling stock market does not impact the average person on the street they are grossly mistaken.
