quote:Perfect example is with the Egypt thing. Some say the market is up because things in Egypt can get worst.
I will think of that quote (although I've believed the idea for years) the next time a talking head on CNBC tries to explain why the market went up (down) which happens everyday.
quote:Found that on Mises.
In fact, the only real force that ultimately makes the stock market or any market rise (and, to a large extent, fall) over the longer term is simply changes in the quantity of money and the volume of spending in the economy. Stocks rise when there is inflation of the money supply (i.e., more money in the economy and in the markets). This truth has many consequences that should be considered.
Since stock markets can fall — and fall often — to various degrees for numerous reasons (including a decline in the quantity of money and spending), our focus here will be only on why they are able to rise in a sustained fashion over the longer term.
