Ugly month will that sway voters? i ll ask our panel, liz harrington, jason altmeyer, and bob, and christina. bob, you re on the floor, do you get a feeling of what s going, a great day, get back a couple hundred points into the close. is there a sense of relief that, perhaps, can be shared with the rest of the country? yeah, good riddance to october, it has more volatility moves of 1% or more, than any other month. whatever the reason, you can argue about whether it s just memories of october of 87, whatever it is, the mid terms approaching, several mid-term hits, world war ii that happened in november, good riddance to october, tends to calm investors when we re out of the month. liz, throughout the month, there s speculation, was it anticipation of the democrats winning both the house and the senate, or the possibility of
History as a tool for forecasting, do you believe that the republicans keep the house? sorry, charles. are you asking me? yes. i think it s going to be close but they have a good chance. there s no indication that tr s going to be a wave election for the democrats. it s not there. and the economy is a huge issue for voters, still. jason, another news item out today that i think might be even more important to the consumer confidence, we learned in the last quarter, wages and salaries up 3.1%. that has not happened in our country, in over a decade. people are starting to put money in their pockets. how important is that, heading into next tuesday? charles, i think everything that s happening in the economy is important, across america. republican or democrat. but i don t think that most democrats are going to go to the polls thinking about the economy. the democrats in this country are frustrated, with the president s behavior, with his
