of course, if you're not paying all your taxes, you're supporting the terrorists, so you deserve to be labeled a terrorist. :sarcasm:
They're mad because they know that if you scratch below the surface they haven't monitored a single non-American account, that they are in fact monitoring democratic senator's bank accounts, and not terrorists.
Real terrorists know their accounts are being watched.
To answer your question about the stock market - everybody goes through that idea that you can correlate seemingly unrelated market factors to come up with a predictive model, but it really boils down to observing REAL ratios of money-in to money-out (essentially) and having some knowledge of the sector, state of technology, intellectual property, and other potential value channels; i.e., knowing something about the businesses you invest in.
You can't just say every time these three trend lines on polyethylene glycol purchases in Shenzhen, corn futures and transportation insurance premiums tick up for two days in the third month of the year invest in Proctor & Gamble and you'll be rich. That doesn't stop people from telling you they have a "system" that made them rich, and offer to tell you what it is, for a small fee of course. ;)
