Thank you - I am probably on the side of those who wanted to see what would happen if Trump wins but that's gamble since you can't take it back and I feel not very responsible.

WSJ just started coverage as well: https://graphics.wsj.com/elections/2016/results/

indeed...the position involves way too much responsibility to just try Trump as a president.
I am not a native American, yet I live here, and what happens here has a great deal of influence on my way of living as well.
Trump is very impulsive, and such attitude is unacceptable for someone who has access to nuclear codes.

p.s.: after watching John Oliver's Last Week Tonight on Nuclear Weapons, I believe that more attention should be given to such weapons, and Trump is not the guy who shows any interest in doing anything on this side...

wow... Very tight races in a lot of the stats. I did not expect it. Looks like just hundreds or few thousand of people in VA, NH, and others. That's pretty cool!

Lol. Yep just saw that. Pretty interesting race. My 7-year old is watching intently. He has no clue of course. The 5-year old is enjoying our distracted evening to do whatever he wants.

Tomorrow I'm participating on a conference call organized by BMO Capital Markets on impacts the elections might have on north american and world financial markets...if Trump wins, it's going to be an interesting discussion...

If Hillary wins Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and California, then she still gets 270...Maine looks good for her too...so there's still hope for Clinton...the problem is - Florida might turn out bad for her...
Michigan is too very close...but MI has only 16 votes while Florida 29...

CA just updated, it's tie now..168 vs 168

Trump is xenophobic and since he is so close to winning the presidential election.
I want to know about the future of international applicants especially Indians. Should we be scared or very scared?

What good would it do? I understand what you mean but doubt you need to worry about it yet. Take it one day at a time - go exchange the 500 and 1000 notes today. Deal with the US election tomorrow.

Talking about the 500 and 1000 notes, I guess the ones who slept peacefully yesterday were those who earned money in a legitimate way :).
