No, from what I have read, as soon as Bank of Japan takes the right steps to correct the bond issue, things will be back where they should be.

The big correction will come when the Fed stops pumping.

I think the market will start down about 125, maybe fall near 200 and then recover to a small loss by the end of the day.

I may unload a little today

I hope you are correct. I see plenty of (-) manufacturing numbers in Asia.

At least we have some (+) corporate #'s here at home.

Again, that is just what I have read this morning... I am in no way a financial expert and I didn't even stay in a holiday inn express last night.

Just sayin

Pretty minor sell off.... Everything I am watching has cut its pre-open deficit in half within the first 5 min.

Yeah, BA was down a little over $1 pre-market and is back to just 9 cents down. But they did get good news in China approving Dreamliners

I follow them on twitter. They seem very cynical about everything. It's kind of crazy.

It can be a very good source if you know the context and take their opinions with a grain of salt. Good information from time to time, but the angle is so obvious it hurts. Dude is just so damn bitter he got caught for insider trading and got his licenses taken away.

Also keep in mind that any correction in the markets is long overdue, Japan in particular. I doubt it'll be a 10-20% correction but its time to harvest some gains and get some dry powder ready for reinvestment.

Probably the understatement of the century.

IMO it's not "The Correction" (30-50% of move from 2009), but could be a 4-6%'er. Healthy uptrends that last a while (as this one gives every sign of being a long lasting one) have occasional pull backs in the 4-10% range.

Like I said, just my opinion. As of now I plan on buying some if we get in the 14,700ish range on the Dow.
