Anon, I think you very well may be correct on the total vs. demo, but we didn’t get the total viewership data for those dates.

I can, however, add in another series of market data, like the Wilshire 5000. I will rework the chart and post that today and see if there is any difference.

I think the total viewership vs. markets (i.e. S&P 500, not QQQs) would be an interesting pattern to watch. The demo figure is too small (thus too volitile) to give you any meaningful relationship.

The stock market data may track better if you chart it vs. Maria Bartiromo's airtime. I am only half-joking...
