Jeff,

Compared to "earlier" ages, current days' corrections
may be much faster - especially for go-go stocks.
Even though there are limits on how much Dow or
S&P can fall in a day, that does not limit
AMZN falling from 100 to 40 in a week. And it looks
like both momentum heads and the value investors
are quick to forget this October, last November,
and couple other times during last two years.
I can bet you that in the next half-year there will
be a month when nobody will want any stock
for no reason. (And that won't be a crash either ;-))

Off topic, I was looking at the universe of tech stocks
lately. And apart of the parabolic success stories,
I saw enough of former parabolic success stories
that fell more than 50% from the top and have not
recovered yet (ever?). Buyer beware, or keep the
finger on the trigger. ;-)

Jeffrey,

I posted my message before reading that post. I have just recently read it, and then re-read it, and it has caused me to severely re-examine my "call". That fact that you give me reason to consider that I might be four years "early" with my call (if I am even right!) sure is an attention-getter!

Perhaps the best thing to do is to click off the computer, and go for a walk.
