I think that fits my 3 boxes. Buying Opportunity means NOW. 10 to 20% would mean wait... or even raise a lot more cash. So, I'd put your 4th door in the 3 to 19% slot.

It could also mean another 3 to 8% correction which is overdue also and supported by most technical indicators including CPC, CLX, AAII, II, Fear & Greed Index, etc. That would mean as you hint, a "NEAR future buying opportunity" as opposed to one that might come in a year or two down 50% or more.

Hi Augie, I say build cash and count to a washout fifth wave shows up. As in wait for bottomspotter. Buy the dip, but make sure it's not a headfake. We're highly valued here in this market. Whatever Trump does, will be to have positive growth and corporate profits in 2 years (hopefully). If an accelerated move of production to the USA is being forced, it will hurt someone's profits as they will have expenses and production delays associated with the move. That is a reasonable event to reduce overall S&P profits. Some more and some less. It could well be great business for the industrial sector. Bob
