Market news writers seem to always think they can attribute the market change to some event, even though they have no idea. This irks me to no end.

I guess you might have quite a short career as a market writer if you didn't want to link events to prices. You'd certainly write very short articles.

Are you saying that wouldn't be a good thing?

Automate this... <stock ticker> <fell|climbed> <x>% on <top company event of the day> - it's still be wrong but at least it wouldn't waste a writer's time.
