If you were Mr Market and your favorite goof just lost the key to the
US Treasury, would you be happy ?

The Wall Street Journal said the other day the election would not
have an appreciable effect, if any, on the stock market no matter
which party won.

Wall Street rallies on announcement of new war hawk for Defense Secretary.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Voters in six states Tuesday approved ballot measures
raising the minimum wage, joining 18 other states in setting a wage higher
than the federal mark of $5.15 an hour, according to CNN projections.

Ohio voters raised the wage to $6.85 an hour, Montana to $6.15 or the
federal wage, whichever is higher, and Missouri to $6.50. Arizona voters
raised the minimum wage to $6.75.

CNN also projects that Nevada voters will approve a mandatory minimum wage
constitutional amendment that would set the wage at $6.15 if the employer
does not provide health benefits.
