Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your husband leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty five years and you pay it back and then one day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then one day you decide to invest your retirement into NITE stock, knowing that it is down 20% of it's high...

Been thinking about this one alot. Why is it that we can weather thru most other storms in the year, but EVERY year it seems that Oct causes a large correction. Seems to me that something is broken big time in this. I would tie it to something else we don;t understand (or know aobut yet) that is doing it, like the MMs trying to adjust the yearly cap gains distributions to be a particular amount or tyring to get year end results to some level they need. Why is it that these large corrections ALWAYS happen in Oct? I claim that AG and his crowd are messing up the system by pushing hte level of fear in this month up. They have a responsilbity to help smooth this over and not CAUSE it. Why not move a few of the fundamental reoprts by a month or so to smooth this out, rahter than have PPI and jobs and interest adjustments and god knows what else all at the very same couple of weeks.
