How much faith can you have in an economic system where so much can happen simply due to one person's gaffe? Some might blame the pranksters; I blame the analyst.

Quote:

OTTAWA (CP) - The loonie showed it has no sense of humour Monday, sinking under the weight of a prank Internet report that federal Finance Minister Paul Martin was quitting politics to breed cattle and ducks.

The April Fool's Day gag, which began on a political Web site, quickly spread to financial markets and took a major bite out of the wobbly Canadian dollar. And the fact the dollar didn't recover once the truth came out shows how eager currency traders are to bet against the buck, said a Toronto analyst.

Much of the damage to the currency was attributed to the reaction of one serious analyst who was taken in by the prank, said Steve Saldanha, a currency specialist with TD Bank Group.

British -- to mock, deride, poke fun (at). This vulgarism has been in widespread use since the late 1940s. The original idea evoked by the expression was that of deflating someone, recalling the description of a self-important blusterer as 'all piss and wind.'
