Let me add that the FED, by keeping rates artificially high during a period where unusually high energy prices are taxing EVERY business and individual's ability to function only adds to the problems this market is facing. With this backdrop, we (traders and investors) find ourselves looking at the market meltdown and the mess that's been created by the good intentions of the FED. This is why I believe we need to think "outside the box" if we are to capitalize on the current investment environment.
