The stock market is still all speculation on FUTURE value, so the reason why you see what you see is that people are looking at leading indicators in order to make a decision on what to buy. So the market is still a reaction (lagging) to what has already occured. The market might be a better indication than unemployment, though. Maybe - depends what you're looking for I guess.
Gameless (for now)
