[...] Be Patient: Investors have fled the markets in droves lately. According to TrimTabs Investment Research, mutual fund investors have pulled $175 billion out of stock funds so far this year, with $56 billion of that capital exodus taking place in October alone. This is the first year that equity flows have been negative since 2002, which reaffirms something we frequently point out: Investors tend to rush in at market tops and out at market bottoms. And that suggests that we may be approaching a bottom – even if it’s not immediately apparent. [...]

This quote is misleading:
"In stark contrast to what most investors believe to be true – that Republicans are better for the markets – the fact is that the blue-chip-dominated Dow tends to rise nearly twice as fast during Democratic presidencies (7.2%) as it does during Republican ones (3.8%)."

The Dow Jones does not represent the entire economy and in addition, Democrat presidents have had different economic policies.

The title does not match the article. Is there an article out there that this title goes to? Because I'd like to read it. Maybe I should look for a title that says something about politics…..

Please translate "Kuda-Kuda-Paw" into English for me. I would like to know its meaning, to the fullest extent possible. Spelling may be incorrect, as I only once heard it said. Understand it may be a "pet word" in Tokyo.

Keith- You can massage the data set all you want, but there is scant evidence that D or R control will lead us off a cliff. The Bush admin without a mandate, tilted hard-right and the long-term effects of deregulation plus Greenspan's foolish logic of keeping rates too low for far to long have taken us to a place we have never been. The starve-the-best crowd, like Stephen More and Larry Kudlow, will love this since it basically puts handcuffs on future Federal growth and spending. The only thing we don't know is how far you can stretch the economy before you reach a tipping point and fall into a depression, but the R's have done their best to find that point. Obama and the D Congress will have to delay or decrease their agenda, although, I think the opportunity for "going big" and becoming truly great it there like it was for FDR in 1932.

I wonder if the author even understands what he is writing.
On one hand he states that history tells us that the Dow increases nearly 10 percent per year with a Democrat President and Republican Congress, Then goes on to say in the very next paragraph that "don't fret" because YOUR OWN RESEARCH actually shows the opposite. Even though people think that Republicans are better for the economy, it is better when there is a Democrat President.
Sorry, but you just spun the first comment that if there is a Dem. Pres. and Repub. Congress the economy grows and when there is a Dem. Pres. and Dem. Congress it is bad.
WHICH IS IT? MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Or is Kieth Fitz-Gerald a coolaid drinker who gets confused by facts even as he explains them? That is what I see…
Our country is in for a bad four years. The Democrat majority in Congress is responsible for the credit debacle and now with a Marxist (that's right I said it) in the White House, the new President will "rubber stamp" all the socialist ideas that will pour out of Congress. All I can say is GIRD YOUR LOINS.
