We all know that the markets are dismal right now. It seems to be the fitting cap on the nightmare of the last eight years -- hell, the last 28 years. Everyone I know is holding their breath, waiting to see if America can redeem itself. Let's send a clear signal on November 5.
The day after Obama is elected, let's send a clear signal to the world (and to ourselves) that America is back and confident in our future.
I don't particularly care what you buy, and I'm certainly no financial expert, but I'd love to see the Dow soar on November 5. If nothing else, just so we can rub some R's faces in it.
So take a look at this list. It's the 30 stocks that make up the Dow. Pick one. Or several. Or pick a Dow index fund (a fund made up of all the Dow components). And let's put some money back in the market. It doesn't really matter if you can only afford one share of one of these companies. If we all work together, I think we can send a meaningful message. And if America's confidence comes roaring back (like I think it will), we might just make a little money too.
