re: The markets are in total chaos. I've seen corrections before but this one takes the cake. Today, within a 10 minute period, the Dow went from minus 20+ to positive 10 to negative 90. We've been in a period of years of relatively low volatility, during which the hedge funds have taken an increasing percentage of the volume. If they all get behind the same direction at the same time, I think we could see A LOT of wild swings. That presents problems and of course opportunities.
