When Hurricane Irene' s caused many difficulties and victims for US country ( including New York city - Wall Street HQ - Sunday, 28/08 ), the stock market beat it ( Monday, 29/08 ) by DJIA soared more 254 points or 2.3 % to 11.539,25 and Nasdaq composite soared more 82 points or 3.3 % to 2.562,11 ....... you still never give up eh ? ..........

After "Irene" attack

DJIA chart as 25/01/10 - 25/01/11

As 08/02/11

DJIA as 30/08/10 - 29/08/11

As 29/08/11

You can see the slide down graph of DJIA is cause of  S & P downgrade the US debt rating from triple A to double A plus early this month.
But my opinion is US stock exchange market will still uptrend after all.
