Maybe I should use a word processor program instead. Also, sorry about the bad grammar, I miss a lot of things with this text being so small before I post.

I'm just saying given a stock of name X where X is any stock you wish to assume and candidate Y is running for a political office where Y correlates to X as a majority percent holder and stock X has a price dip in sales to boost election favors resulting in a temporary lower stock exchange rate. This idea comes from an observation of gas prices during last year's voting season in Thibodaux, Louisiana. There are also a few assumptions that may be incorrect such as price dipping in sale value implying stock market price decreased prior to that dip. It was just one of those theories that pops up before you fall asleep. When I refer to the market, I mean the stock market.

I am not sure I understand which market you mean when you write "a dip in the market" or which stock you mean when you write "investing in that stock at a predicted crest." Let us all know the situation you have in mind. Are any of the current candidates connected with any brand other than their party's brand? I guess Fred Thompson is associated with "Law and Order," and Dennis Kucinich with "Fly the Friendly Skys." -Morris Coats Jacob,

Then could it not be said that investing in that stock at a predicted crest of the dip lead to suspicion of insider trading?
