My theory is that your volatile markets are caused by 24/7 news channels. People are too anxious over there.

Actually now that I think about it I should shoot an email to Dan Ariely, maybe he could investigate my theory.

Or maybe its because our economy is the largest in the world? Anyone in the world that is smart with their money puts it in the US market?

Nahhhh, it couldnt be that! Its cuz America sucks!

Long story short, they want to live like kings, pay no taxes, and they are all overpaid.

24/7 news and the advent of the ability for anyone to trade stocks instantly online. i'm convinced that daytraders & would-be investors looking for the quick buck are screwing our stock market
