All that "today's action" (i presume you mean the Dow) proves is that the Dow measures what's happening as several different main frames trade with each other with reality not allowed to intervene.

"This is the voice of Colossus. This is the voice of World Control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die." 

Not sure why so many are surprised the market didn't drop on the unemployment numbers - we actually had an increase in "productivity" with a corresponding decrease in the number of workers producing.  That's an increase in profitability for a bean counter and good news for an investor.

People scared of losing their job, their home, work harder to try and hang on to their job.  When survival is at hand, fear makes our "productivity" increase - fear is a great motivator, isn't it?
