thanx people!

I would say no.

The trade of securities on a financial market such as senex, is usually not representative of true economic conditions and performance. That is beacuse the system has one characteristic that prevents this: Human interaction. It is human decsions and emotions that dictate the trade or shares. Yes, economic performance and indicators can effect the trade by institutional investors, however, most decsions are based on inflated speculation.
A stock market by nature is speculative and therefore only a ROUGH indicator.
