In Response To: OT Crude Attempt At Analysis of Stock Markets (Casper van der Tak)

I like this John Paulos quote, from Innumeracy:

"... Commentators always have a familiar cast of characters to which they can point to explain any rally or any decline. There's always profit-taking or the federal deficit or something or other to account for a bearish turn, and improved corporate earnings or interest rates or whatever to account for a bullish one. Almost never does a commentator say that the market's activity for the day or even the week was largely a result of random fluctuations."
