Okay I googled a bit and you're probably right.. it was a mix of factors
however I stand by my point that the traders are stupid to see an obama win as an economic negative indicator and we certainly shouldn't pay attention to their day to day fears like this
I see what you're saying, but you have to ask why they wanted Romney. And it is not really an economic indicator. all of that is these days. too much manipulation. but the reason wall street wanted Romney is because of Dodd-Frank Act. Oh and Bankers are now making $300,000 as opposed to $600,000 during Bush era.
