This is getting scary. When is the Fed going to do something to inspire more confidence beyond its cash injections?

Down 250? No big deal. It’s down only 234 now. A mere flesh wound.

Is 250 points really a “plunge” anymore?

It’s like less than 2%.

Damn...

So are the Feds going to wait for everything to implode before they lower interest rates?

They should have done that months ago.

Correct interpretation:

Stocks on sale now! Buy while the deals last!

Having the Government involved involved should make everyone “feel” better. /s

CNN Money just moved their chart grid to accomodate the falling graph. The 10% correction is done now, we can stop selling. Okay?

Relax - we can’t have a real impending economic crisis until just before the elections or so. See GHWB.

But from a high of around 14,000 to 12,600, isn't that like about 9%?

I pretty much agree, but I think there's still some significant downside to this market. I'd give it 4-6 weeks before I'd want to get in.

Well then, they might as well just throw a match on it and raise them.

LOL!

It’s about a 50% retracement from the runup from 11,000 to 14,000. That is typically what the technicians look for. It may go a bit lower than that, depending on how the psychology of the markets goes. But if you're a believer in the buy-the-dips strategery, it might mark a possible entry point.
