suggested I start a new thread today. this caught my eye.

I was watching FNC 'live' when our president announced the renewed 70B tax package. While starring at the 30fps flicker and listening to him preach to the choir about the current prosperity, etc. When he started extolling the current economy, the FNC on screen DJA monitor did a steady, slow free-fall. -172 > -187. the numbers kept going down drip,drip.etc. the 4PM bell was not harmonious. I know the DJA, etc. isn't the entire economy. but some folks care. CPI caused the jitters. it was a life imitates art moment, had to check if it was the daily show not FNC.

The Stock Market performance of one day does not say anything about thne economy as a whole. What if it had been on an UP day (of which we have had many lately)?
