Agreed that politics aggravate emotions, and emotions are not needed during the trading day.

That being said, political news that has an impact on the direction of stocks has a place, even alerts about polls and election results. With so many industry affecting laws being debated...that kind of news can instantly hit the value of sectors like financials, oil and insurance.

Perhaps personal political opinions and debate is best kept for after hours? I know that I did enough W bashing before 2008, but not sure I did it during trading hours...of course back then, I posted more stock alerts here during the days

Now, I'm 90% only in chat during trading hours

Re alien babies...dunno, haven't seen that due to the "ignore" button, lol.

I must agree with stuffit that all points of view and discussions are open here.
