news usually acts more as a catalyst than something that directly moves price. stuff like that is already priced in. everyone already knows about it.
you really only have to pay attention to price history/technicals. like, i highly doubt the spx will go back over 1900 because it tested that level three times before falling further. if we do hit 1900 it'll be very temporary, i'd buy some puts at/around that price.
the chart has the most relevant information you need, period. news is secondary, it's only useful if you're an insider who has access to it first/is the guy making the deal.
and yeah i didn't know who scalia was either and doubt i ever will cuz whooooo cares. the justice system got incorporated a long time ago, helped enforce the war on drugs and such.
americans are hands down the most oblivious nationality, and yet we run the world, it's funny.
