Obama wins!

Using your skill and judgement, can you spot the precise moment that Barack Obama won the US elections and the market reacted with enthusiastic support for his economic abilities?

Perhaps next time the other party should just concentrate on their supposed economic abilities and not try to deny basic human rights to over half their voters and they might just get in!

This election was the devil and the deep blue sea.

As I said beforehand - if I were an American I wouldn't be wondering which candidate I'd vote for, I'd be wondering how it came to pass that those two were my only alternatives.

Very true. But what saddens me most about this election is how many women still voted for Romney...

In the end, the American peeps have decided they'd sooner give up their economic rather than their personal freedom.

Some choice. If it is a choice.

Economic freedom is the first freedom from which all others derive.

I guess if the state can't afford to repress you, then it won't?

High taxes give them the option.

I wonder if paypal takes gold?

This is the only US election I'm aware of where the dollar fell in value on the results.

Falling $ = more exports, usually. Should be good for the economy.

Higher taxes = less return on investment. That won't be.
