Conspiratorial Super-Sleuths

[JayB]

Here's something to cut your teeth on. Explain the following chart, but please refrain from using terms like "predicted reductions in aggregate demand," or "futures markets," etc and instead tether the phenomenon to the motives of various political actors, reams of unseen evidence that's available to folks with your unique combination of perspicacity and analytical acumen, and bemoan the fact that the [insert derisive term for the segment of the American public not fortunate enough to share your particular gifts] will remain all-but-oblivious to the plot to influence the outcome of the mid-term elections that's unfolding before their very eyes. Crux, your moment is at hand!

And explain the conspiracy that prevents the BB from displaying hotlinked gif's while you are at it...

soporific sophmoric political rants

JayB, sorry to disappoint but the answer is 'futures markets'.

Maybe you can give us a dissertation on why the Republicans have effed up their chance at greatness so badly? I mean, they lusted after total power for years, they have it in spades, and they can't do anything except start misguided wars and sell our future off to the Chinese. WTF? Feel free to write a separate version on the failings of the Democrats while you're at it. At the very least, it'll keep you in school a few more years.

[Mr_Phil]

It's Bush's fault!

Pshah. I wasn't expecting much in the way of a performance from you, but Crux has been making a strong run for the title lately - and the prose, man, the prose. Like an ESL student translating a legal briefing from his native language into English while desperately alternating between a Chinese knock-off of the OED and "WordSmart" vocab enhancement tapes. And all in the service of arguments to support the contention that politicians are...loathe to publicize their opponent's official misdeeds prior to an election. It's like watching really, really bad performance art conducted with letters. Fascinating stuff.

And I mean come_on, the plot intersects the x-axis right at 9/11. Coincidence?

You'll have to do better than that if you want to roll with the likes of Crux, Jimbo. Nice use of semi-colons, though.

[crackers]

could you please provide overlay of the same data for the past ten years?

Those are colons ding-dong.

May 11 was the start of the decline when there was an interest rate annoucement. Since then its been a short sellers paradise for the most part and that continues through today
