I'm not nearly as business saavy as you, but I've noticed that some of the companies these talking heads are mentioning in a panic have recently reported some pretty respectable earnings. I'm going of the assumption than I'm probably missing something though.

I was basing it off the large number of stocks at a 52-week high. Some of that is based on earnings, but some of that is unbridled optimism. Unfortunately, even with good earnings, once that unbridled optimism wanes - well, we typically see a 10 to 12 percent dip in the market, overall, primarily on the backs of those stocks at the 52-week high mark.
Just as a rising tide lifts all boats, when the tide goes out, everybody is likewise, high and dry.
