Market Waits For Election –

The stock market slowed down at the end of the week as many investors wait for the election results.  Tuesday could bring a split Congress or Republican control of both houses.  Currently, Republicans are expected to win more than the 39 seats that are required for control of the House.  The Senate is expected to be very close with Democrats holding 48 to 52 seats.  A 50-50 Senate would have Vice President Joseph Biden being the tie breaker.
