I know this is a financial chart, but because of the political overtones I posted it in the Member's Area. This chart tracks the US dollar's purchasing power (UUP in blue) versus the price of crude oil (OIL in green) versus the price of Evergreen Solar i.e. solar panel producer (ESLR in red) versus the price of Archer Daniels Midland i.e. ethanol producer (ADM in yellow).



I would add that the Democratic convention took place during the week of Aug 18-25, that the Republican convention took place during the week of Aug 25-Sep 2, that polls started showing the Republicans as serious contenders during the week of Sep 2-8 to present, and that polls started showing the Republicans ahead from Sep 8 to present.

Pure coincidence, or do elections have consequences ?
