This also tracks the decline in oil prices quite well.
What happened with that big black spike in early-mid August?
Wasn't that when they broke up the plot to blow up 10 airliners flying out of England?
I mean the black spike up that was NH_RS which was bad news for Repubs. The red spike after might have been the plot busting you are talking about.
I want to know why the red (good guys) dropped for a while.
