If one ever noticed-when the breaking news was reported on the recent ruling from the S.Court, the DOW dipped about sixty point. From a little over 400 gains to around 340 points. It kept going down, before it moved-up again at the end of the market close. Data cannot lie–the dipped can be interpreted as a collection of preferences.
The DOW movements are the rationale reactions toward the ruling. Any news leaning towards the other side will be reflected by a lower DOW. The market is a collection of rational players who try to anticipate “something” such that they can benefit out of it or to protect their own interests, portfolios or investments. This small signal again strengthens what we have mentioned in our previous BLOG. Americans are not ready, or ever ready to move away from the system that the Founding Fathers have established many years ago since the Independent Day; with something that is leaning toward a totalitarian system.
Experiments to change the current system to something else is costly, and may have unimaginable effects. Therefore, people do not need to change the system of government because they could see what has happened in countries under the totalitarian system. Experimentations in a lab, are good to find new drugs to cure diseases for lab experiments can be repeated with less costly. However, changing the current system into something else other than democracy will have unimaginable consequences, and above all it is a one-way ticket. Once you burned the bridge down, you cannot rebuild it. For example, if one bites a hot Thai chilly, she or he surely will experience sense of burning on his or her tongue. Unless one likes hot Thai food, ordering level 5 will surely make one sweats, or even stomach ache or diarrhea.
