Further, government economic data looks backwards in the economy, versus having good vision for the future. The stock market acts impulsively in the present for short term gains, but also is gambling on the future…more of a Vegas casino than an indicator.https://www.hughesmarino.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/david-marino.jpg
