Hundreds of trillions of dollars is riding on this election. So, i think dirty tricks are not surprising, even if its nuts to think that profit will materialize, they are trying to lock it in, which is likely to force some kind of catastrophe at some point. Thats what this election is really about, not four years of policy, an allegedly forever set of changes in policy, exceedingly bad policy changes, all for the biggest corporations, that all have a sort of rushed quaity to them like "lets make the worst possible decisions fast and then nail them down through our own feet, because we think we still can"..
Its idiocy.
