Good evening!

The weekend is over and stocks are resuming their slide.

Shortly after futures opened on Sunday night, Dow futures were down as much as 102 points, S&P 500 futures were off as many as 11 points, and Nasdaq futures were down around 30.

These moves, however, are muted compared to the turmoil seen in markets last week, when the Dow lost more than 1,000 points and officially entered a "correction" after falling more than 10% from its most recent high.

Overall, the stock market had its worst week in 4 years and people are pointing the finger all over the place.

“How low can we go”

Unless you are too old to ride it out, I wouldn’t worry about it. If the market tanks ‘forever’, then there’s no future for the USA as we know it. At that point, money isn’t likely to help you.

The stock market goes down as well as up! Who knew? Not the guys whose investing experience started in 2009, that’s for sure.

After 4 years without a correction, we are indeed due for one. This should come as a surprise to nobody.

Thanks.
What struck me was that I’d never seen the Mideast market Sunday performance prominently mentioned before.

Just for the proles. International bankers have to get theirs first. (Actually, there are now ways for the smaller fish to play as well. If they know how.)

I’m watching from Canada, which means that two other things are also very important: Oil (presently at $39.83) and the Canadian Dollar (presently at 75.57, its lowest point in just over a decade). We have a federal election campaign on here, and it will be interesting to see how things play out. The Conservatives have some problems, but they have been very good economically. They are presently running behind the NDP (a socialist party that has traditionally been a fairly minor player, roughly equivalent to the Liberal-Dems in Britain).

Doesn’t this happen EVERY TIME the Fed is about to raise interest rates for savers?

Methinks the Fed will use all of this as an excuse NOT to raise interest rates. And if savers should continue to suffer, who cares?

I’m curious to see which asset bubble will get re-inflated from all the equities dough that’s being taken off the table.

You know it’s got to go somewhere.
