Another great article Seth, but the investors are running scared of Obama.
I can't understand why they won't invest in China and Singapore as the problems here have little effect on the far east.
Wynn and LVS are making record breaking profits and the slowdown in China is normal and already letting up.
These are safe and well managed companies and if they continue to go down, I guarantee you they will come back stronger than ever.
