Dow tumbling 167 points. S p sinking 0. 86 . Nasdaq losing 0. 91 today because the styles of the two candidates couldnting more different, and the polls are very close. So the level of uncertainty is much greater than if we had a runaway frontrunner. Does the fear make sense . Should the averages have been merciless . Frankly, i dont want to make any determinations because at the end of the day, this is a political question, and that means its up to you. My expertise is picking stocks, not politics. And im uncomfortable even going there, even for one evening. But i just cant ignore the elephant in the room because that would mean ignoring whats driving the market, and thats whats coming up at 9 00 p. M. On cnbc. The first of the president ial debates between donald trump and hillary clinton. Im tuning in. I hope you do too. So where do we begin . Lets talk about what business thinks first of this election.

Think women in the navy are still in the waves. They are not. The navy reflects the nation at large. 20 percent identify as black , a slightly larger percentage than the country as a whole. Latinos make up 16 percent. 18 percent of women and the laws that previously barred them from combat of come down as well. The last barrier in the navy was breached in 2011 when two women reported on board one of the navys Nuclear Powered Ballistic Missile submarines. You may have seen in the news to Army Officers who were women accepted and successfully passed ranger training. So far know female seals, but i am sure it is only a matter of time, and not long. Finally, gays and lesbians now openly serve in the army and navy. The uniform code of military justice made homosexuality a crime punishable of physical punishment as well as dishonorable discharge, but no more and from my view no one of the 30 seems to care. This up for the general patriotic and alec forward to your questions. Thank you. [appl
