When I heard and saw the stats my thoughts did not connect the rises a week later in attribution to the turbulent events, rather I thought that it seems remarkable that the Market did not think it mattered much in longer terms in all four episodes, when the rest of us thought them significant. The market is far from infallible, but it has an opinion and it is worth noting, not hiding.
It should also be mentioned that no where in the piece did anyone on the show voice an opinion of what the facts meant...they left that to the viewer. Having seen it in real time, I did not even conceive of the uproar it would caused. Still think the opprobrium is totally nutz and apology crazy. When you hate dissemination of facts, you have abandoned the basis of reason.
