    Time machine finally developed!!!

    At Yahoo they already know what the shares will do before the markets actually open.

    Brilliant!!!



    Or does it mean that the market is rigged?

    While correct, this doesn't exclude the possibility of markets being rigged

    I guess the article was written by an American who thinks everything on the left is Asia?

    I don't think anyone would be surprised to find Australia in the Asia Pacific region. Anyway I thought Australia was now in Europe.

    I think Australia is just waiting for Scotland to leave and take their spot

    Dude, the thing is that that article started with "Asian shares struggled on Monday", while most of Asia was still asleep. In case you are not so good in geography, this is Asia:




    And you might notice they wrote "struggled", which is past tense. It makes sense to write that on Tuesday (because it's past Monday), but writing this on Monday morning, when people are still asleep, doesn't make any sense.

    Or they could have written "The three Asian markets that opened first were struggling by 9 am (Hong Kong time)"

    Anyway, this is the Anti Productivity section of the Opinions & Humor section. And yes, also the Time machine finally developed!!! title is a bit tongue in cheek. They didn't actually invent a time machine. Haha. Hilarious, isn't it?

    Next time I write something incredibly funny, I will make sure I explain why it's incredibly funny. OK?
