It’ll work (not really). The reality is the market works far differently than either the 3-Q GDP or other indicators including unemployment which is always a terribly lagging indicator. Good news—the fundamentals are recovering. Bad news—it won’t effect employment stats for some time. Were the ’10 election the ’12 election this would help you. As it stands, given statistical reality and the cyclical nature of the market… not so much. Sorry. Sarge… there’s a reason those NCOs on the ground (whom I have immense respect for) don’t get to make all tactical and strategic decisions. The markets have a different driver. Guess how that works (hint—it relies on bonus incentives and equities reporting while ignoring debt swaps and fixed income)
