Stock Market is down despite EU lowering and GDP rising/WHY?

Could it be that investers don't trust the numbers the govt are releasing?

The market was up June, July, August, September. Now it's going down for awhile.

Thanks for the obvious Sherlock

It's apparently not obvious to you since you had to ask.

The markets move in trends, or call them waves if you like, over time periods of various general lengths. The trends that last for a few months are called intermediate term trends. The intermediate term trend from June to September was up. The intermediate term trend is now down. To try to peg that to specific day by day news events is usually a futile exercise.

Maybe investors fear a possible Mitt Romney Presidency seeing as no one including Mitt knows wtf he is gonna do?

Mitt:

Do I raise the deficit spending more than Obama or not?
Do I bomb Iran or not?
Do I go back into Iraq or not?
Do I repeal Obamacare or not?
Do I cut spending or not?
Do I do another stimulus or not?
Do I believe in god or not?

Mitt Romney: “What should I say I will do today to get your vote?”
