I don't think you can compare this with most other corrections of the recent past because of the spectacular PE's we have coupled with a decreasing expectation of earnings. That simply does not happen very often.

Amid all the Clinton crap, the huge market swings, and Greenspan giving more and more ambiguous speeches, none of the fundamentals have changed. These are the things that bother me about the current economic state of the US and the world. 1. Asia is starting to get better (Yen), but still has a LONG way to go. 2. The US has not seen any major economic erosion (at least on the surface), as a result of the global economic crisis. It's not a matter of if but when. 3. Latin America is on the verge of major economic ruin. As long as oil stays cheap, most LAT AM countries will not get better. 4. The PPI disturbed me today. I see the deflation death spiral as a major threat to profits. 5. Consumer debt is up. 6. Huge swings in the market. We will not form a bottom (for 2 days) and then zoom right back up to where we were. To me that's not a correction. A true correction should hang out near bottom for a couple Q's and sloooowly drift in a positive direction once the economic outlook is better. 7. Commodity prices. 8. Year 2k.
