This is example number 54,512 of the media's COMPLETE inability to cover science, and example number 752,451 of a headline that doesn't match the contents of an article.
THIS RESEARCH FINDS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN SOLAR CYCLES AND THE STOCK MARKET.
But the moron headline writer thought it would be a more interesting story if it did. The research deals with the PATTERNS of the solar wind, and how they can have a similar pattern to stock market fluctuations. This doesn't mean that the sun INFLUENCES the stock market going up or down.
IMO, it's actually a non-story. Also I was really being sarcastic and using the opportunity to remind everyone of the media's continued refusal to consider solar activity in global warming but jumping all over this story in which the emperor really had no clothes.
To add to your list, please include the moron this morning on Fox that threw in "the bends" as another danger for the trapped miners. I guess he thought because there was water and they werre 300 feet below the surface this was a possibility.
Hint: my husband worked in an 800-ft. deep mine for several years. No decompression chambers were necessary at the end of each shift.
