The world is driven by emotion
The stock market no longer moves based on sound fundamentals - it swings on the emotion of fund managers, media opinion, politics, and the average Joe’s paranoia.Â
On that note, Apple’s stock sunk yesterday when Steve Jobs didn’t announce any new ground breaking products at MacWorld. Fundamentally the company couldn’t be doing any better.
Hillary Clinton sheds a tear and the Democrats in New Hampshire hand her the primary vote.
Mike Huckabee promotes his “Christianity” and Iowa voters hand him the primary vote.
A prankster says “I’m going to blow you up” over a radio and the president almost goes to war with Iran.
A candidate says “were on the verge of another terrorist attack” to get himself more votes.
WalMart announce a new store in Heber. Some citizens assemble and protest against the plan but ignore the Walgreens and Lowe’s that come to town with it.
A person gets insulted by something said at church and gives up their religion over it.
A lawyer gives a passionate closing argument and a jury sets a guilty man free.
A business partner gets insulted by an email and drops a promising startup.
A police officer gets mad because a person won’t sign a ticket so he ends up tazzing the dude over it.
A stock gets sold short so a CEO goes on a “Jihad” that almost destroys the company he initially set out to protect.
“Experts” judging a business plan competition pick the worst plan out of the bunch because they want to give the guy a chance.
A powerful teachers union uses the media to lie to the people of Utah causing them to vote down sound legislation.Â

Left by ThatOneGuy on 01/16/2008How about his quote on emotion.
“I dare say that most of the inmates of our prisons are there because they did something when they were angry. In their wrath they swore, they lost control of themselves, and terrible things followed, even murder. There were moments of offense followed by years of regret.” - Gordon B. Hinckley
