RANT & CHAT - Politics Allowed

[thepennyking]

But, but, but...

I've noticed the same thing, however, you have to admit that politics seem to be tied closely to economics and economics seem to be very tightly knit and woven woof and warp with the stock market, and many times I noticed that whatever coverage the media has of political developments tends to affect the stock markets around the world, so political intelligence is a useful tool to the saavy investor.

I think its called "fundamentals" as opposed to what is that other measuring stick for predicting stock prices? Stochastics?

Doesn't good political news drive stock prices upward and bad news drive them down?

Isn't there some correlation between geopolitics and stock markets?
