mannnn is that a stupid article.

the market's movements of late have almost nothing to do with GW, nor with any other politician. The terror overhang and the price of oil are both contributing factors, but not large ones.

the reasons for the market's stagnation are many but to name a few:

-rising interest rates
-huge consumer debt (combined with above)
-low anticipated annual equity ROI (6%-10%) for next 20 years (has to do with the impact of diversification on risk)
-prospects of inflation
-echo tremors from the crash (still trying to reach equilibrium in buying patterns)
-demise of mutual fund hypergrowth which fueled funds flow into equity for two decades.
-terror fears curb spending
-lackluster corporate earnings, mainly as a result of bloat and high wages in the workforce.
