IMHO, this is a chance to lighten up on high quality bond funds and start dollar cost averaging by a teeny bit into big domestic equities.

Good thing we have confident leaders in charge of our foreign policy and military. I’m sure they will sort this out soon.

The market has been begging for a correction. It has been floating on a sea of Fed-pumped liquidity and little else. That liquidity gets yanked and we will see some eye-popping declines. IMO the highs are in for this cycle, possibly til later this year. But there is one hell of a canyon to bridge before *that* prediction can be reasonably made.

There is always some little thorn that pierces a bubble.

The blame can’t really be laid on the thorn; afterall, thorns are common and without intent.

The blame has to fall on the bubble itself and those who created it (Fed, Wall Street, et. al.).

...and your “president” is asleep at the wheel, or eating ice cream.

Libya? Nothing to do with union protests spreading to several states? It's friggin' LIBYA that worries investors?

I really hate these moronic daily reports that ascribe vast market moves to a single (usually unrelated) event. I did not change any of my portfolio today simply because of Libyans yelling at Libyans, and I doubt that any significant portion of the market did either.

Looks like the DOW closed down about 178. I’m surprised it held up this well, given the boatload of bad and scary news extant at present.

The market was due for a selloff. It ain’t much of a selloff though.

No it did NOT drop because of the Libya turmoil. Everyone LIES! It dropped because some big fat finger on Wall Street just decided it would be a good time to fall. Libya is an insignificant tin-pot dicator-run useless country which has little or no effect on our economy. Bookseller Barnes and Noble (BKS) fell 14+ percent today on lies as well. The markets are now a TOTAL manipulation.

Meanwhile the price of oil keeps going up and up, and der Fuhrer 0bama has decreed that no drilling be permitted. Think about that the next time you gas up.

Hmm, most of the sell-off seems to be related to Japan news, not Libya.

Consumer Electronics, Tech, Uranium, all Japanese stocks, and solar UP. Libya might have something to do with it, but CNBC and Fox Business were mostly talking Japanese tsunami and nuclear impacts this morning.
