well, at this point, I respectfully disagree. Nothing negative will affect this market in a bad way.
If Russian Airliners getting blown outta the sky doesn't spook the market....
If biggest Terrorist attack in France's history actually leads to biggest weekly stock market gain this year....
If a Nato country (Turkey) shoots down a Russian fighter (hasn't happened since 1952)....
Oil falls below $40 a barrel...
Japan in Recession....
China falls 5.48% overnight...
If all that doesn't drop u.s. stock market, and makes it go up.....
Then soft retail sales numbers won't affect stock market at all....except in a positive way of course.
