Pretty awesome and oh so accurate. What most people don’t understand about the stock market is that the people make and break it. If everyone decides to sell, the stock market crashes. If everyone decides to buy, it goes up. Very nice example of this.
This is just a hoot! There is not always a lot of rational thinking at the foundation of how things work in our country. I try not to think about that a lot–feels like a house of cards if we keep pretending the free market concept does not always create the best economy. Look at our small hand-made businesses that serve children: being forced to submit their wares for expensive testing because Mattel’s suppliers cheated is insane. Allowing Mattel to do their own in-house testing is absolutely insane!
Stock trading is not an exact science and is practiced “at least partially” based on traders instinct and educated guess, therefore stock market will always be prone to overreactions and human influences such as profit maximizing “GREED” and stocks value manipulation . The bottom line is we should not be surprise when we get hit with such market disasters, after all who is really dictating the market moves?, big banks and stocks manipulators and of course they have the best intentions for us and also they know “How Stock market Works”.

Really funny, it isn’t far from the truth either when people panic and offload stock.
