Markets up - McCain wins president - gas $1 a gallon - Village home prices double - OH Happy days

Watch the dollar and the Oil prices. Both suffered today. Long range these are more important, esp Dollar strength.

Like Donna said "some good news" key word "some"...let's take this one step at a time and realize we may actually step back again before we go forward.

Yes. There will be selling to get a fast buck. The market will be labile for some time. I hope that the money we worked so hard to get and save will somehow be safe. And the "we" is an all encompassing WE. I hope that, pray that, it is not too optimistic a hope.

It isn't money. It is the security we worked so hard to gain that we would never be a financial burden to others.

the LIBOR index spread still sucks, so credit isn't there,

and the basic world of screwed up energy, healthcare, ethics, borders, yada yada yada, hasn't changed one iota,

I remain a skeptic and cynic
