@janetmal you referenced a saying about stock markets not correlative or indicative of economies. that implies there must be some measure of goodness of both, to prove (or disprove) the statement. what do poor or great economics mean to you?
at its very fundamental, you own a business to reap its performance. the profits a business generates is distributed directly to its owners, or is put back into the business and embedded in its value.....which is reflected in the ownership stake.
stock price ~= performance vs expectation is a very narrow short-sighted view.
