Investment in electronic goods can be conducted on the futures market. With positive news, such as an announcement of new electronic technology, prices of electronic goods likely to benefit from the news rise; if negative news about the arrival is predicted, prices fall. Earlier today, trade publications reported that Malus Industries is close to developing an improved voice‐recognition technology. As the introduction of this new technology will increase the utility and value of telecommunication devices, prices of telecommunication‐device futures will rise today.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument above?
A. The improved voice recognition system will not enhance the utility and value of telecommunication devices unless properly implemented.
B. Industry insiders announced today that Malus Industry’s employees have unionized and are planning a general strike that will go into effect any time.
C. The application of the improved voice recognition system extends far beyond telecommunication devices.
D. Futures prices for telecommunication devices have been fluctuating more dramatically this month than last month.
E. It is rare for most people who trade in electronic goods futures to personally use the technology they trade in.

The argument's rule: News moves prices. Positive news = rise. Negative news = fall.
The conclusion: Prices will rise TODAY.
A's problem: It talks about FUTURE implementation issues.
B's power: It introduces NEGATIVE news on the SAME DAY.
Simple version:
The conclusion: Prices will rise TODAY.
A's problem: It talks about FUTURE implementation issues.
- Today's news is still positive
- Traders react to today's announcement, not future "what-ifs"
- A doesn't change what was announced
B's power: It introduces NEGATIVE news on the SAME DAY.
- Strike news = bad for company
- Now we have positive AND negative news
- Can't predict which wins → Can't conclude prices will rise
Simple version:
- A = "The cake might not taste good later" → People still react to the announcement of cake
- B = "Someone also announced there's no frosting" → Now people's reaction is mixed
