Nominal GDP 1960: 526B, Now: 15770B. Growth: 30x.
DJIA 1/1/1960: 680, Today: 13067. Growth: 19x.
58% difference in growth rates is not roughly the same. But either way, it is statistically insignificant as one sample.

Yes, a negative change in GDP growth rate could cause a lower stock market. However, that would be a correlation with a *change* in GDP growth rate, not the GDP growth rate itself.

Let's turn this around then. Do you have data to back up your claim that "stock market growth roughly matches GDP growth in the country"?

It certainly isn't. http://www.economist.com/blogs/buttonwood/2009/08/the_growth_illusion

Stock markets are actually not correlated to GDP growth at all. A few example studies:

The idea is the expected GDP growth is already baked into prices.

Wake me up when someone offers a desk I can use while lying down with back flat on the floor.

Then I'll most likely fall back asleep...

Ting already offers data only, voice only, text only, or any combination thereof. Use as much or as little as you want. Add family members or employees for $6. Quite a future.

The best distro for LAMP would be one with a repository that keeps up with the latest stable Apache, MySQL & PHP. So instead of getting whatever versions happened to be current at the time of the distro release, you could actually regularly apply AMP bug fixes and security patches.

Unfortunately I don't know of such a repository for any distro. Maybe someone else does?
