I think it's the Weather

Quote from qdz5:

Everybody talks about the weather . . . but nobody does anything about it. - Except for crooked meteorologists and cloud-seeding manipulators! :p

They are all out to get us. I think they want to take over our minds. They won't rest until they do.

Those crooked meteorologists really are a horrible group of people.
 
Why do they say it's going to rain, and then it doesn't? Or they say it will be sunny, and it rains. Or they say the high for the day will be 70 degrees, and it's 75 degrees already? :p
 
Quote from hii a_ooiioo_a:

What determines the market's direction each day? Jobs Data, manufacturing reports, interest rates, war, government conferences, etc. . . . ?

I think it's the weather more than anything else. Today its raining, the market is down. Thursday it will be sunnier, the market will go up. Freak blizzard in April, the market goes down. Sweltering heat in July, market goes down. Flowers blossoming and birds chirping in May, market will go up.

That's what I think.

"It never rains in Southern California"

they actually made a song around those lyrics,

so what happens in the North East doesn't carry through across the country, and perhaps that's a good thing, as the markets still trade...

GET OUT OF HERE!!!! Now I have seen it all.

Maybe they should create something like highway accident futures so I can hedge myself in case I get to work late.
 
a. get accident insurance

b. trade online from home, quit work

Your rates for a. should be reduced once you do b., and you won't have to worry about getting to work late anyhow.

Monday and tuesday it was sunny and warm, flowers were blooming, birds were chirping, market went up.

Today it's raining. Market's down.

It isn't rocket science!

Must be a slow trading day if we're onto the weather. But with the Dow stuck at -80 to -90 and COMPX at -4 or so it isn't presenting a lot of oportunity for me to trady the SPY.
