Since there's obviously a lot of semantic confusion
on this
blog, we'll define
everything as, well,
everything — all the things you can possibly imagine, and even those you can't, including all the matter and energy in the universe, all that is constructed thereof, and all that can
affect such.
You have a great
blog and are clearly very bright and above many of your peers in the finance industry.As you know, when the market goes down, it pretty much takes
everything down with it and small caps have been hit even harder.Everyone feels dumb when the prices of their stocks decline and feels smart and vindicated when prices turnaround and shoot up.We are living in challenging times and the macro is likely to
affect future stockmarket performance
affecting 80 % of all stocks for a long time to come.Stocks as part ownership of businesses are
affected by the global economy.In the meantime, most stock prices have been gyrating based more
on Mr Market's emotions of how various economies will emerge than anything else.
