Amena's decidely unscientific take on the stock market.

It sucks.
But seriously, You all may be wondering why oh why, the market has lost 10+ percent, since Barack Obama's election.
Pondering this question, here are my thoughts.
A) Barack is perceived as pro-green, causing a humongous dumping of anything associated with fossil fuels. (This is actually true, not just conjecture).Course the green industry is not nearly big enough (IMO) to counterbalance massive sell-off.
B) The market trading floor is filled with greedy base-born, Republican stock trading Bastuhds.... Said greedy base-born dungheap Bastuhds have cranky pants on that McCain was not elected. Said Bastuds trading activity does not in anyway reflect economic activity, economic worries, issues etc of this country, and in fact reinforce the new 21st century reality of stock market movement: mooooh moooohh (weee there I go over the friggin cliff) mmmooooohhhh (oh crap, that was not supposed to be such a hard landing....splat). Collectively, the market equals one gigantic jack@ss.
C) Market movements is a normal market correction, i.e. normal sell-off after considerable market gains, and that once again the market and its movements have nothing to do with reality, and in fact simply likes round numbers. For example, market traders like bottoms and ceilings at whole numbers i.e. 9000, 9400 etc. 9000 may be a ceiling, or it may be a floor, depending on if we can break through it today. Again, no friggen correlation to reality.
D) Some combination of the above, seasoned by the fact that the market has this belief that Obama has magical powers to afffect market movement by simply breathing.

I really just wanted the opportunity to call Republicans base-born dung-hill Bastuhds. Have a great day!
