Well, my 1051 target got chewed up and spit out surpassing even my wildest dreams. Thanks goodness for alternate targets. Will someone tell me where all the bulls went? Are the bears coming out of hibernation? Are the HFT's and the Fed allowing the plummet? Did the GDP miss speculation/revision from GS spook the market that bad?
Bloomberg says in U.S. Stocks Retreat, Extending Global Drop, on Economy Concern that, "U.S. stocks fell, extending a global slump, as an unexpected decrease in new-home sales added to concern the seven-month rally in equities outpaced prospects for economic growth. The dollar rose against most major currencies and Treasuries gained, while oil and metals fell." I don't buy some of that as we've been IGNORING bad news for MONTHS now.

If you want more, just click. Freaking click anywhere. Sadly, enough don't click and won't and although it is most likely already too late for all of us, at least those that click and act now have fighting chance.
this is just the obama crowd allowing a little market turmoil to draw away from their plumetting poll numbers, dithering on afghanistan and Iraq, and the upcoming spanking of dems on the nov 3rd ballot. people wont pay much attention to those things if the markets dropping is in the news.
