Meh, I will stay in the market and continue to make money. You can keep your tin foil hat lol. Corrections will come, but I don't forsee a crash in the near future.

Japan saw a drop of over 7% today, it might be an interesting day in the U.S.......

Well, as I write this the DOW is down about 92 points, It was in triple digits a few minutes into the session.

Well, today's a day to stay away from the stock market for me.

We'll have to wait and see if this is the beginning of a correction.

Malibu Mike3 · 05-23-2013, 08:56 AM

Yeah, looks like the Nikkei closed down nearly 7% today.

Probably pick up some shares this afternoon

S&P 500 currently down around 12 points

Important for investors to keep in mind that BIG BEN still has their backs...

Yes, both today and yesterday were tricky days. The price action was crazy. I got in and out fast.

The feds action will not influence much if the worlds investors decide rates should stay low.

By the same token If the worlds investors feel rates should be higher and decide to sell 100 trillion in bonds there is nothing the fed can do to keep rates down either .

We already saw the famous inverted yield curve right before the recession when the worlds investors disagreed with the feds actions of trying to raise rates.

End result was long term rates were lower than short term rates.

I believe Berneke when he said the Fed was going to monitor expected inflation much more carefully. But i also believe that the effect of QE on inflation will have a long lag and that is worrisome, if it's true. Look back at the 70s.
