Unexpectedly: Stocks Suffer Heavy Losses Second Straight Day After Election;
Analysts Baffled

I can't figure this Mystery out.

Can you?

The markets took heavy losses for a second day in a row Thursday in a broad-based retreat late in the session. Every major sector closed to the downside.

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 121 points, or 0.93%, to 12812, the S&P 500 dipped 17 points, or 1.2%, to 1378 and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 41.7 points, or 1.4%, to 2896.

The S&P 500, considered one of the best barometers of U.S. equities, tumbled 2.4% on Wednesday in its worst day on a percent basis since June. The losses added up in late trading on Thursday as well, with the S&P sinking 1.2%.

Troll Busting: Thank you for letting me know about the Stormfront invasion. I've been busily feeding hashes into the Trollbuster, but just realized it's currently not working. Usually it trollbusts immediately.

I've put into Pixy for the IPs to be banned. This takes longer.
