And some of those who think they know, well..."It's to get money from politics and put it into the environment," insists Velma Marotte. "More stars should get out and do this...

That rebound was widely dismissed as a "dead-cat bounce," a graphic trader's term that refers to the notion that even a dead cat will bounce a little if it falls far enough.
