That's a f*cking construction ANECDOTE!
And your graph EXPLAINS nothing, because it's associative.
Illegal immigration spikes or declines notwithstanding, there is never a shortage of U.S. citizen carpenters, electricians and construction workers.
If interest rates are low and job creation strong, there's generally a strong housing market and that in turn is good for the ......DOW.
But hey, make the case to conservatives that Obamas deportation numbers, higher than under GWB, are bad for the DOW.
Clearly they're NOT, and just as clearly, the people you'll make that case to don't give a sh*t! Round up and deport ALL of 'em!
As said before if you had a valid 'deportation/DOW' chart, it would be part of every investor's trading platform.
There would also be at least one investor article on the subject, if not a peer reviewed study. The Google Machine directed me to exactly none of that.
But whatever, use your 'associative chart' as part of your trading decisions! it's all good!
