Stock Market & Sales: Tied Together? - GoFuckYourself.com

The Porn Nerd · 06-17-2010, 09:14 AM

A pattern I've been noticing with sales since about April:

Stock Market has an "up" day and sales are good-great-fantastic.
Stock Market fluctuates like a $2 whore's gag reflex and sales tank.

Anyone else notice this? Example:

The last 7 times the Stock Market took a "dip" of more than 100 points sales were down 62%
When the Market is 'stable" sales are anywhere from "normal" to "great".

So what gives? Do the banks put on the brakes when it comes to putting through form submissions if their stock prices fall? Is this why wild sales flucuations have been happening with CCBill and Epoch?

Like with today: Stock Market freaking out, sales in the shitter. It's getting to the point where I check Wall Street first thing in the morning just to determine if I'm gonna have a normal day or some fucked-up "can't explain"-type shitty sales day (like today).

Any ideas?

I've been noticing the same thing. When the market has been on positive runs sales have seemed better than when it has been on negative runs.

I'm not saying it's cause/effect. I have no idea. But I've noticed the trend and it is certainly plausible. When you look at the demographics of paying customers they are even more likely to be owners of equities than the average.

Watch out for the fat finger trading error.

One of our Programmers strongly agrees with this theory.

However, it's not fully on the same trend. Many times when we see the market dip down, our sales increase quite a bit.

Well, I've noticed that it's not always the same day that this trend occurs; sometimes it's a day after the Market goes bouncy bounce. Maybe a delay? Maybe spillover from the EU markets? Anyway, it's not always the same exact day, and it seems to be worse since April or so in terms of how often it happens.

Well, I may indeed by crazy but that's a seperate issue.

Today: 10,000+ uniques to my best-converting site = 4 sales.
WTF?

Good observation. This has been 'true' for quite a long time. As the stock market tightens, so do the financial institutions.
