Quote of the day from a business reporter in Asia, "Stocks drop around the world on news of the U.S. stimulus plan, with percentage losses not seen since the inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama three weeks ago".
Of course it is just non-sense to say that, the truth is that it's normal for the market to buy the rumor and sell the news, and that's what happened, it had been rallying all last week in anticipation of the stimulus plan and then sold off when the news came out, but still it was funny to hear a foreign news reporter say that.
