From CNBC:

The market
is in an ugly mood, no doubt about that. Investors are rethinking
the probability of a "soft landing" - not because the Federal Reserve
miscalculated, but because rising energy prices could upset Alan
Greenspan's well-laid plans. Finally, the confession season is clearly
having an impact on Wall Street's morale, with the weak Euro being
blamed for revised earnings in many of the recent warnings.

Is there anything positive in this picture? Yes. First, the Fed
has the tools to fight energy prices, if necessary. We haven't
heard any talk of this yet on the Street, but a week ago some
experts were speculating that the Fed would lower interest
rates early in 2001. If energy prices threaten the soft landing,
Mr. Greenspan could move sooner. Second, even with the present
declines, the Dow and Nasdaq are still within the trading range
set this summer. The gains of August are lost, but the indexes
haven't broken the lows of late July. Finally, the confession
season won't last forever. It will be followed by the earnings
season which the evidence suggests will be brighter than it looks
from here.
