AK, instant results are partly the result of computers detecting a trend and then acting on it, sometimes erroneously. Those actions then create more of a trend and the computers can act again. Few companies can entirely hide its activities from the markets and even the event of an announcement causes ripples in the stock price. Zero movement of shares would be most suspicious because it would indicate the markets know all the details.

Here are some interesting figures from a Paul Gaston (all other details unknown. Any obvious typos edited; others highlighted):
CO2 is thermodynamically incapable of influencing the global temperature. Calculations are as follows to prove it:
Atmospheric Masses
Total Atmospheric Mass. 5.15e+18 kg
N2 = 3.886705e+18 kg
O2= 1.1948e+18 kg
CO2= 2.369e+1k5 kg - (Typo? Perhaps 2.369e+15 kg)
Specific Heat Capacity (kJ/kg K)
N2 = 1.039
O2 = .915
CO2 = .819
using Q = cp * m * dT
to change temp + .01 K
N2. Q = 4.038645e+16 kJ
O2 Q = 1.093242e+16 kJ
therefore to raise 98.67% of atmospheric mass would
require 5.131887e+16 kJ to raise their temperature
0.01 degree K (1 degree K = 1 degree Celsius )
again using Q = cp * m * dT
we can calculate conditions required to raise that much
potential energy
5.131887e+16 = .819 * 2.369e+15 kg * dT
dT = 26.450149 K
okay then change the mass
5.131887e+16 = .819 * m * .01
m = 6.26604e+18 kg
Remember from above the total mass of the atmosphere at present is 5.15e+18 kg
I believe this indicates the lack of significant potential for CO2 to contribute to global warming by the present theory of Greenhouse Gas infrared activation of dipole moments to generate enough energy.

The interview with Ed Milliband, following that excellent Helmer interview, is best to avoid: it couldn't have been worse!
I thought the American liberal left were bad, and he managed to include an electioneering party political broadcast on behalf of the Labour Party as well, with the BBC oink hardly protesting at the hijacking.

"Someone kindly explained", wrongly? Sell high, buy low. It's simple."
I'm glad you added the question mark because your explanation fails to explain the coincidence. Furthermore the common aphorism only works if an investor has perfect knowledge. What usually occurs is that shares are sold in a falling market (to avoid further losses) and are purchased in a rising market (to avoid having to pay more for them). This doesn't explain the relationship between announcement and market response either.
"If the markets know that a discovery is about to be reported, the markets often speculate about the size of it. If they've guessed it right or over estimated, the shares often fall."
Agreed but the operative word here is "if". Regulatory bodies look very unkindly at companies that leak information to influence share prices. More importantly, the size of a discovery is rarely known when first announced and normally requires months of additional drilling in order to be established. What I was commenting upon was a near instant response of the market.

clipe, AK, If the markets know that a discovery is about to be reported, the markets often speculate about the size of it. If they've guessed it right or over estimated, the shares often fall. In reverse, if a company is about to report on losses, shares will often rise, if the losses aren't as bad as they feared.

The Cold War did not end because NATO beat the USSR. The USSR ran out of money.
Trump is divesting from Climate Science. Climate Science is running out of other people's money.
The EU are negotiating with China, but China is only worried because they will lose £billion$. They will not subsidise EU policies unless it is in Chinese interests to do so.
The EU is now trying to do deals with individual US States. I am sure Trump will be happy for Democrat States to shoot further holes in their own financial pockets.
The EU is simply inviting Eurosceptics Parties to ask the EU what evidence they have, for wasting €billion$

clipe. Those people are crazy. When I worked for oil companies I would watch their shares' performance. If the company made a significant discovery (ie more assets) the share price would tumble. Someone kindly explained that a new discovery would require the tying up of funds for development and this could adversely affect the dividend. Funny old world where success causes a loss of share value.
