Early story starting the rationalization.

Market is down like 700 for the week isn’t it?

[SkyPilot]

Only 7,000 more points to go before the market corrects to its actual value.

[Red in Blue PA]

Everyone is far to positive on the markets. It’s almost unanimous that you hear people say it is going up again.

A sure sign we are about to fall bigtime.

It's time to refuel the helicopter and dump some more borrowed trillions into QE 3, or 4 , or 5,... or whatever the hell one we are at now.

It's not just the Chinese depending on us to keep them awash in cash - it is our Gibsmedats whose SNAP/EBT cards and assorted bling may be at risk!

If the music stops now we are way, way, way short of chairs.

I think the Mexicans have an applicable phrase for it, "Plata O Plomo (Silver or Lead)...?"

"Concerns about weak growth in China"

Yeah, sure. According to our Ministry of Truth sponsored by the most influential constituents (along with gobs of the usual social pathologies), China's been collapsing since 2007. [Manufacturing is only expected to increase by 7% there during the coming year, and manufacturing there has increased greatly every year for quite a few years.]

Bipartisan liars.

What do insiders know that you don’t?

late afternoon stream from Ukraine didn’t add any warm fuzzy feelings either.

Not to worry. This weekend, they will find some obscure reason for re-donning the rose-colored glasses - perhaps it will be discovered that the snail darter is abundant enough to be a supplemental food source - and the highway men will push it back up so the commies can tell us how resilient and vibrant the economy is...

Ok so they said on TV that if you had 60,000 at the beginning of January 2013, you would have about 100,000 at the end of 2013…..yesterday it would be 97,000. All this drama over 3,000 in profits…..IF YOU TAKE OUT THE MONEY TODAY!!!!!! What nonsense and I think they should only announce Dow numbers once a week instead of everyday. It is so stupid for the media to be making a huge deal about this.

When the market bounces back in a week or so, watch for a dip in precious metals, particularly silver. The interval between now and the annual low of silver in May, represents a buying opportunity. Buy as much as you can manage from places like First Majestic, have it delivered insured by UPS, and put it into your safe.Hold it for about 5 to 7 years.

You will be glad you did.
