Tradegod -- good point. I posted to Michelle a few weeks ago that there would be nothing but bad news -- I am not sure I got the message across -- but the idea is simply that when the market is ready to go down, the bad news is all you hear. When the market wants to go up, it is deaf to bad news. Of course, it is not really the news that moves the market -- that is just noise. It is the buying and selling -- supply and demand. Right now there is huge supply and dwindling demand. Cash is king -- do you hold cash or stock?

Bonds are up from ~4.7 to 6.25 in that time. It's a big deal. the market did this in 1987, going from 2700 to 2400 while the bond rose from 7 to 10%.(2700 to 2400 didn't reflect enough fear ;>)) At least our market has corrected into this as it should have, decreasing the likelihood of a sudden meltdown.
