Comment: Exactly this

Not only are all of these "economic data points" deliberately manipulated to be complete horseshit at this point, a form of sophisticated social engineering? Even if they weren't (deliberately manipulated):

The underlying foundations of the Real global and national economy are so hosed and inflated with Fake fiat currency and artificial instruments like derivatives anyway - that indicators like the Dow are naturally completely divorced from reality.

The stock market is not actually 'connected' to whats really happening anymore - in any real day-by-day meaningful way - anyway. So it's totally unreliable as an indicator.

Totally.
