Perhaps SI could offer a hot new course in technical analysis (TA?): From New York Times, 11.09.98, page A25: Monkeys, Strippers and the Dow In late July, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani began shutting down strip clubs, and over the next month, the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 1,500 points. In September, a court ruling gave some clubs a partial reprieve, whereupon the market began to recover. Last Wednesday, a strip club won another round in court, and the Dow surged 250 points the rest of the week. Mere coincidence? The Mayor apparently thinks so, since he is continuing his dangerous crusade. But the stripper-Dow connection is all too obvious to those versed in the scientific literature of endoctrinology. The market plummeted in August -and will plummet again if Mr. Giuliani prevails-because of a testosterone drought. This phenomenon was demonstrated by Emory University researchers who studied the closest scientific approximation of New York's financial district: a group of monkeys competing for status in a confined space. . . . It is a perilous choice, as Mr. Giuliani's own role model demonstrated with tragic consequences. The last time a righteous mayor crusaded to close down strip joints, New York endured a long testosterone drought known as the Great Depression, and it took a world war to get the economy moving again. Fiorello H. La Guardia thought those were just coincidences, too. :))) At.
