will have to see how this plays out

Actually, you can explain the markets with two simply phrases;

The market is down: profit-taking.

The market is up: bargain-hunting.

This seems to work as well as anything. The investors don't explain what they're doing, they just buy and sell.

The market looks at a lot more stuff than 9/11 commission testimony.

Good catch!

The markets, in case anyone is playing, have been tracking the election prospects of Bush!

The market wants President Bush to win in 2004 for obvious reasons.

Since Dean imploded and Kerry was nominated, the markets had been tanking.

But Flip-Flop Kerry has done Bush's work by being revealed as just another lying Liberal.

The result: BUSH LANDSLIDE = MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET
