Post-election glow dies fast as Dow drops 486 points-"Investors got a post-election reality check Wednesday as focus shifted from which states are red or blue to the sad state of the economy.
The Dow Jones industrials sank 486 points, or 5.1%, more than erasing Tuesday's 305-point Election Day gain as investors mulled over ominous economic data. Showing just how severe the pullback was, one of the stock market's broadest gauges, the DJ Wilshire 5000 index, fell 5.2% Wednesday, its worst post-election day in at least 28 years."-I am only posting this to document for this year and years to come something I am interested in finding out whether or not the presidential elections and presidential policies have an effect on the economy either way.
