One way to play the stock market, is to buy the dips, like today, DJ down 1,000 points, and sell at the top, after the Plunge Prtotection Team (PPT) steps in to push the market back up a 1,000 points, finishing the day close to unchanged.

My guess, based on past experience, the PPT will step in as many times as needed to save the markets during the Presidental Election. Then let the market fall flat on the new President's lap/term.

This is about the only way to make $$$ in a fixed market today
