So you thought the stock market would react positively to the US Congress passing last minute legislation? Think again. Granted, some experts are saying the gyrations of the stock market this past week had less to do with the debt limit and more to do with financial problems in the European Union. Any way you cut it, watching the markets drop more than 4% on two different days in one week is never fun.
