I find it amusing how the mainstream media is blaming (or, as I would prefer to put it, crediting) Kim Jong Un’s nuclear test for the drop in equities on Friday. First of all, news of the nuclear test came out nearly an entire day before equities started weakening! In this day and age, reactions are instantaneous on the order of milliseconds. Indeed, I was reading about the nuclear test and the ES was green on Thursday night! So, as usual, the mainstream media is full of it.
And anyway, even though the leader of North Korea is quite evil, in some ways he seems a very sensible chap.
