Politicians are always quick to take credit when stock market raise, and they're quick to blame opponents when they fall, but these are based on complicated calculations, which, recently, have lead to abnormalities based on wide fluctuation in one or other product and service (oil and housing come to mind).
So are stock indexes as reliable as they used to be in determining the health of an economy? How significant are they really?
