US President Donald Trump and Democratic Presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden pictured during the first presidential debate at the Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio on September 29, 2020. For small business owners across the nation, casting a ballot in the 2020 election presents a difficult series of economic, personal and political choices.

They’ll do fine with either it’s the working poor in this country that will be screwed either way

Too late!

No trust CNBC

on cue...

I'm responsible for my own health. Needing the government to handle things for you is sad.

Biden = leave the market and Trump= invest!

Watch this before you vote:

Seriously cnbc? Could you be any more crass on the day that our democracy may be forever destroyed?

Go long on Exxon, Raytheon, and United health care.

No one cares what you think anymore.

My portfolio TRIPLED under BarackObama 200% It’s up 40% under realDonaldTrump That 40% is also the percentage I LOST under Bush43

I'd rather put 10% more in my 401K than give it to Joe 'The Big Guy'...

Vote Trump out.

Before being caught up with Trump telling us how great the economy is, start looking around you, get the facts, and then decide how great it is.

I won't bother to read this. CNBC is one of the TDS networks, so the article will obviously be very biased against Trump, regardless of the facts.

If biden wins sell, sell, sell. If trump wins buy, buy, buy.

Joe want to increase what the government takes from the sale of your house from 23% to 44% so he and his socialist friends can take your money and create their perfect little world.

Ring-a-ring o'roses, A pocket full of posies, A-tishoo! A-tishoo! We all fall down.

So hey, little do-gooders-- let's review the reports about HunterBiden ? BidenCrimeFamiIy poses a big National Security Threat to our country. Trumplandslidevictory2020

Maybe give it a rest? 0% of people who work for a living will give a single rat's ass about any topic like this for say, the next week or so. Try doing some real reporting like your colleagues elsehwere within NBC - they could always use some more folks on the ground.

Vote Trump and CALL or vote Biden and PUT

A civil-rights lawsuit brought by the Justice Department against Donald Trump and his father Fred Trump in 1973 claimed that African-Americans and Puerto Ricans were prevented from renting apartments from Trump.

We can’t get away from his lies fast enough!

Trump told me not to rent to blacks. He also wanted me to get rid of the blacks that were in the building by telling them cheap housing was available for them at only $500 down payment, which Trump would offer to pay himself. Trump didn't tell me where this housing was located.'

Vote early. Show up early. Stand in line. You have smartphone anyway. Call in sick. If polls close and you're already in line, stay in line. Do not leave. You have a right to vote and they should let you vote.

How mercenary of you

Well the stock market should look at what happens when Mad King Donald promotes a radiologist with Russian ties whose plan is to INCREASE infections to 198 Million and deaths to 4-5 million in one year. And 2 years after that where will we be? The dead & sick are poor consumers.

Stanford study estimates 18 Trump rallies resulted in over 30,000 COVID-19 cases

The investor class should be taxed at 75%.

This paywall has to go guys. runs TONS of commercial breaks, which is why I NEVER watch LIVE. You don't need this bullshit puny revenue from 'CNBC PRO'. You're not a struggling media outlet. It's obnoxious.

Yeah, because moral considerations? Pff. Good Lord, big picture! Vote blue!

Ultimately it doesn’t really matter.

When Obama was elected the market sold off until March. Be wary of a Biden victory. Same outlook.

DON’S BODY COUNT OF TODAY 235,248 of children, Moms & Dads as he continues his plan of “IT IS WHAT IT IS” DON’S PLAN of Herd Immunity will take 80% of the citizens to become infected resulting in US 3,310,026 DEATHS! Instead of fighting his CDC & FDA, HE SHOULD JUST BE HONEST!

Yeah. Because money is all that matters. Deplorable.

Joe wins ~ the markets will go crazy , prosperity for all , Joe will shut down covid simply w/ a mask mandate , Green Energy jobs will skyrocket as will gas , oil & fracking the transition fuel for yrs to come , Unity , reopening markets w/ allies around the globe & civility !

I don’t invest based on elections.

Let me make it easy for everyone. Buy Bitcoin because the government is going to keep printing ridiculous amounts of money to steal people's wealth and inflate away the debt.

Should pay attention to normal Americans, too...the wealthy ones are doing just fine.

I'm not a Wall St research firm, but I wouldn't recommend re-aligning your portfolio based on election results. Trump was supposed to be good for fintech and energy. Do you think you'd be happy if, back in 2016, you moved out of tech and into fintech and energy?

Pro Money is not able to flowed out of China freely, their money & their clients money will be gone. Anyone knowing China market know this. it’s GE that supported China wto entry. Ironically, GE just closed its last joint venture in China recently

Pro Under Biden, Wall Street firms will kill themselves like GE(before WTO vs now) by investing in China. US market will enter a long term bear market because money is flowed out . It’s lose lose for Wall Street firms & US market investors

Pro Senate has adjourned until after the election. With all the talk about stimulus. Surprised no reporting when this is the final nail in the coffin about pre-election stimulus. And no drop in the markets due to this finality. Now, maybe no stimulus until Feb.
