opinions, crude posting the lowest level in 11 years, chevron and ex-on lead -- exxon leading the dow lower. can the dauphin issue, the dow finish positive? we're down 1 pointle% and why is that so important? the dow is on track for the first loss in a pre-election year in 76 years, not since 1939 has the dow been negative in a pre-election year. and let me tell you the trends are strong. typical trend in an election year, up 5.8%. post election, only up 2%. take a look at this. we're way, way off that 10.4% level. a lot of people will be watching this in the coming days but it's up likely the market could rebound to those levels because involve is really light on the exchanges. not a lot of people here. it's quiet. not a lot of people trading.
