The stock market, aside from large scale manipulations, is statistical noise. You can assign causality with impunity to it, because no one can prove you wrong.

What’s next? Will his speech be blamed for global warming?

I thought that whenever anything bad happened it was the fault of Geo Bush or Globull Warming?!?!?!

I guess the Left is getting tired of their own narrative.

Stocks had been down for most of the day. I doubt the Prime Minister had anything to do with the market psychology.
