Since 9/11, in particular, stock market values in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, and Japan have tended to move in tandem with those in the United States. On each of these markets, equity values, after initially recovering from the 9/11 shock, have subsequently fallen, and on September 11, 2002, they generally were below
