Even though the electorate was happy to chose a socialist as our President, investors who want to maximize returns on their investments will not be so giddy. As the threat of a capital gains tax and income tax increase for the upper middle-class bracket has now become reality, many investors will be looking to liquidate and cash out on their assets before those new rates are even on the table, because by then it will be too late to sell for the best price. This will compound the cyclical low that December selling usually brings. It's going to be a bumpy winter...

My son was sick this morning and had been all of yesterday, so we decided to take him to see the doctor to make sure everything was OK. The doctor was mainly concerned about keeping him hydrated, so we picked up some ice pops and by the time I left for work he was looking like his usual self and my wife reports that he is happily dancing around watching for Baloo from The Jungle Book.
The result of this is that I didn't make it into the office until well past 1PM today, which triggered a realization: I have not missed work on September 11th for 7 years and, in fact, the thought of not getting to work today felt... wrong. It's almost like my brain, mindful of the day, replays the most emotional part of of that day 7 years ago for me, the urgency to get to work.
That's when I heard a rumble, turned around, looked up and saw my old workplace collapsing.
No more emotion.
Turn, and run.
