      In addition to an onslaught of new information flooding the market,the "current market environment" is a variable that will affect the weightof new information. For example, let's assume that the market is verybullish, and the vast majority of information that has been released intothe marketplace in the prior weeks and months was also bullish. If anonslaught of bearish information is dumped into the public eye tomorrow,the current bullish environment of the market will offer support to offsetthe negative news. However, if the new information being dumped on themarket is also bullish, it will further confirm the present environment,and a bull run will ensue.
