Hmmm, let's see.

The Stock Market is like the afternoon snack.

The better the snack the more interest you have in going to so and so's house.

Let's say Bobby's mom gives out carrots and Timmy's mom gives out cookies.

Well initiatially our interest in Timmy's house will be more.

Why cuz cookies taste good and carrots are wack.

But once we check into the fundamentals or the good and bad things about cookies or carrots once we eat them we may change our mind.

For instance what are the good things about cookies?

Taste good
Short Sugar High

What are the bad things about cookies?

May cause Cavity Creeps
You might get Fat
You only get a few
Sometimes you gotta wait til after dinner if you've been bad

What are the good things mommy says about carrots?

Good for your eyes
You can have them anytime of the day
You can eat as many as you want
Don't cause cavities
Won't make you fat
Strengthen your teeth

What are the bad things about carrots?

taste may or may not be likeable.

Now which is better as a snack? Carrots or Cookies?

Depends on what good things and bad things are important to you.

So stocks go up when people feel good about them. They go down when people feel bad about them.

Most times it has more to do with the way people feel rather than if the snack or stock is good for you?

Did that make sense?

I hope that answered your question. If you have any follow up questions please let me know.
