Using the same logic of the original post, what does the market think of an Obama presidency now that, on the first day after winning the election, the DOW drops 486.01.

Here’s what MSNMoney’s article said:
The Dow Jones industrials closed down 486 points, or 5.1%, to 9,139. It was the blue-chip index’s worst loss on the first day after a presidential election, beating a 4.5% loss in 1932 after Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover.

As a digital photographer I’d add a few caveats:

1. USB is simply too slow for transferring large amounts of data. Check into adding either FireWire 800 or an eSATA port.

2. Look into a RAID 1 system to add an automatic/redundant system.

3. Buy larger than you think you need, but shoot one below the largest available. Seagate released a 1.5TB drive recently, and it sells for under $180 each. Once they hammer out the reliability issues they will be a viable option, and getting a 3TB external system will be obtainable for cheap.

4. Consider using a combination of a single, large internal drive for back-up along with an external system you can move/hide. As someone else said, if you’re home is broken into you’ll have everything in one convenient place to steal, thus losing it all forever.

I voted YES on 98 and NO on 99. Rent control in this state is burdensome and over-regulated and most cities don’t allow for vacancy decontrol. Vacancy decontrol allows you to finally raise a rent up to market value when the person who was under rent control moves out. As long as the person stays in the place for rent, or in the case of mobile homes a relative who takes over upon the death of the family member, the rent can only be raised a very small amount each year. In San Bernardino county that is 80% of the CPI-U, which averages about 3-4% per year.

Long have the cities and municipalities forced rent control on mobile home park owners in an effort to meet their federally mandated targets for providing low-income housing. Hopefully that ends with Prop 98!
