I took last October 15th when the Producer Price Index came in higher than expected. But I only do that so people won't think I'm just yanking their chains. Truth is, most of the time I get a kick out of being wild and crazy, just for the hell of it. I give them a 247 point jump on Friday, and then I take back 180 points the next Monday and Tuesday. I like to get investors' hopes up and then kick 'em in the keister just to keep them on their toes.
Investors are desperate.
They'll accept any explanation. Look, half the reporters and pundits who claim to speak for me don't even know who I am. I'm The Market, baby. You can't define me with 30 lousy stocks. Hey, you guys are going to do what you're going to do.
