It Would Be Interesting

It would be interesting if the all seeing eye could see the reasoning behind all the typical reactions to a number like ISM manufacturing or employment. Let's say it's like 57.4 up versus 57.6 like today's number. First a rise in S&P because it's down. That means the Fed is less likely to taper. Second, a rise because it's only down 0.4 and it's still way above 50. Third, a decline because it means that the economy isn't strong. Fourth, a rise as the flexions cover their short. They were told the number was going to be down but most of them didn't get the exact number and it's only down a little. Fifth, a decline as the economic forecasters alert their readers that the number was down. Sixth, a further decline because Germany is down a tremendous amount more than the US. Many other cross currents also. All ephemeral and designed to unleash the weak from their chips.
