Yahoo Finance

All three major averages (^GPSC, ^DJI, ^IXIC) are in the red following losses in overseas markets as investors anticipate the first presidential debate between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. Investors are also keeping a close eye on oil (CL=F) as they wait to see if major producers can reach a deal to cut production.

But TV isn’t the only game in town for viewers: Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR) and Yahoo (YHOO) will stream the face-off between the Democratic and Republican nominees. Which candidate has the most to lose?
