Hard Data.
While looking into the events surrounding the Proposition 19 vote in California during the November elections of 2010 some interesting data came to light. Around October 5th there was an increase in the average number of articles written about medicinal marijuana. This increase was a move from .8 articles per day to 2 articles per day. This increase precedes the average volume in stock trading which didn’t begin to trend up until October 14th when the average volume increased from 859525 to 2209475.
This seems to be support for my thesis, but I do realize that one event cannot prove my theory. I need to study more events of this sort. Please comment on any events that you believe may be supportive or contrary to this example so I can further expand my research.
