Title: Why I will never ever understand economics

Apparently the uk stockmarket, a listing of British companies, shares in which are mainly owned by British pension funds and Insurance firms ended the day 60 odd points down today. Reason? Worse than expected employment figures. In the U.S.A.!!! How the f*** does that work?

Its almost guaranteed that on a day when the US stock market falls, the UK market does. When the US market increases, the UK one does.

A lot of it is down to confidence and courage, and there isn't much of that in The City.
