With the advent of the homegamer, it seems to me like Main Street has met Wall
Street but I never hear any politicians address this issue. I would even say
that Cramer's appearances in Queen Latifah's movie and Iron Man testify to the
sea change of homegamers trading on Wall Street. What percentage of people do
you think are homegamers or IRA holders and how do you think this will affect
the election?

doesn't matter who wins...there is a pickr in here (i forgot ...sorry) who
posted past data on rep or dem's in office, interest rates and market
direction....it doesn't matter.
the market is controlled by institutions, homegamers are just a pimple on the
cratered face of the market

10% homegamers...the majority of investors are the IRA or 401k type investors
(buy n hold mentality except recently don't invest more til the relief whistle
blows, which i think is the sideline money everyone keeps talking about).
To clarify the question, what percentage of American voters do you think are
homegamers/small investors or invested in IRAs.

I believe the number is close to 85% of american own stocks in some form...so
tax increases on investors nail the whole country, especially those nearing
retirment looking to take money out of mutual finds, traditional ira, and
401-K...This is a big issue that most people do not even understand affects
them...
ON cramer's popularity, it is because he is all over NBC and they push him and
he makes a lot of noise. He is the market guru with the most exposure to forms
of media other than CNBC and other business networks/magazines/web sites...
i missed the show...was obama ahead from a poll taken?...polls are fixed...you
just stop taking a poll when the numbers are in your favor.
didn't see kudlow, but if he's saying the selloff today was cause of fear of
obama then he's just doubble full of s**t. remember this is the moron who still
buys into bushonomics. there were plenty of reasons that the market pulled back
today and none of them had to do with the elections. mike
Homgaming has very much evolved over the years...We dont have to go to offices
or make phone calls to trade which means there are more of us here ! I generally
disagree w/Larry Kudlow but I do agree with him today..the market spoke loud
and clear today...it doesnt like the fact that Obama is the front runner, for
various reasons..I personally am a huge dividend player and would not like to
see the taxes increase, but if it means saving one life in the war I will do it,
I am a homegamer and I am for Obama...sometimes its not all about money...
Good Luck to us all!
percentage of homegamers that are what?
hi Katie. Main Street always always always gets ***d by Wall Street
