It started crashing in may when the Messiah won the nomination. I don't know if it's related or not, but I figure the money guys figured that the socialist government that Pelosi, Raid and Obama would be pushing through would be bad for business. Since it's what we're seeing, along with an already questionable economy it just got a lot worse.
remember when rich folks can't spend money out of bad public opinion we're not hurting them, we're hurting the low wage hotel workers, waiters, etc...
