RE: Would love to know why this happened.

I can think of the following reasons:

1) The Stock Market went up TOO HIGH TOO FAST and now it is trying to reach its reasonable valuation level.

2) Interest rates ARE going up and money is flowing out of stocks into cash.

3) The deep state is going down and is going to bring EVERYTHING down with them.

Guy on the radio (listening to Hannity and in between there’s the news) says it’s because the economy is “too hot” (too good), and also because we didn’t have our annual 10% correction last year. Some economist says it’s an inevitable and healthy correction, and that the market will be even stronger for the rest of the year.

The feds have been furiously increasing rates after flat lining them to near zero under Obama. Yellen’s work to undo Trump. The same was done during the Reagan years and leas eventually to Bush Sr losing the elections

Traders...don't like uncertainty.

And with what is going on in D.C....THAT is a uncertainty.

In my mind..it is a combo deal. The "M" was due for a pull back...and the D.C. mess.....

I actually bot some issues today...........

It is exactly what anyone would expect after the sell off on Friday. Now, all we can do its await the Market Correction and see how low it will go.

The establishment is clearly sabotaging the stock market in order to destroy President Trump’s strongest weapon....his successful impact upon the economy....

Janet Yellon raises interest rates on her last day & the market tanks.....

Who ran the market up so high so fast? Strictly pump & dump....

Who cares if the BIG BANKS like Wells Fargo are losing money.....they got it free from the FED in the first place & have made HUGE GAINS on money members of the FED created out of thin air & loaned to themselves.....?!

DJT is a master strategist but all the “Hey the stock market is up SOOOOOO much, this is great..!” was a mistake:

That is the SOLITARY matter on which he spoke out on but should not have.

ALL the rest of his chest-beating was fine, IMO.

It was due for a correction.

Over-due, really.

I’m not worried about it. Let me know when the market takes a 10%+ dive in a single day or we start to near only 20K on the index.

No surprises here.

the only thing that happened is that the market is correcting itself as it is designed to do after a period of Irrational Exuberance.
