Why are you distressed that herd behavior is predictable? seems a tad gay.

I tried "porn," it is in a bull phase! Moral to the story-people turn to porn when the market goes down

I would have thought the google searches would have occurred a month later than they did. This is almost unbelievable....

It was causative (searches happened during/after crashes not before), not predictive. [yawn]

2007 Febr 27th peak, but the crash was 2-3 days before that. Same shit this January, peak is on 22nd, but we were dropping before that. Oct 10th the same.

Article writer should learn to read a chart....
