It's been soaring way too much. Definitely a correction, but the sky isn't falling.

In the short term the market is a voting machine.

Yea but are we looking at 5% correction or a 20% correction.
I thought overall the earning reports and economy reports have been pretty good, wasnt expecting a pull back.

I wonder if it has to do with the fact many are realizing today how corrupt our politicians are.

Looks like a buying opportunity. Not trying to catch the knife but some things are starting to get a little better looking

This. Unless you are in retirement and are counting on income in the short term, a 5% or 10% correction is great.

The start to the year was crazy. I’m not sure this will be the big correction, but a 5% would be nice.

Hope so

No clue. Going to keep shoveling money in, though.

Today's decline was caused be the jobs report, low un-employment and a strong economy mean higher interest rates.
"U.S. stock market indexes trade firmly lower Friday as investors digest a stronger-than-expected jobs report that saw bond yields continue their climb"

If you're not close to retirement, I'm thinking that you're foolish for trying to time the top of a market to get your money out in the hopes that 1) You've actually correctly identified a top and it's not just a blip and 2) if it is a top, that you'll later correctly identify a bottom to get back in instead of just continuing to invest steadily during what may or may not be a correction.
This is one of the few points on which the crypto guys and I fully agree. HODL. If your investments and investment philosophy are sound, a general marketwide correction is no reason to panic and is just a periodic kick in the nuts. Sure, it hurts, but the pain soon passes and you move on.

So good economic report means bad market? Are we back to the good news is bad news market of 2016?
Today’s selloff is nothing more than profit taking and rebalancing. There are plenty of bulls left in this market and company earnings are solid.

Just made my 2018 Roth contribution yesterday

Bond yields are going up, that's the only thing short term that I can see that will cause problems as far as equities are concerned.

So you’re cashing out your retirement over a 3% pullback from highs? Oh boy, this is what makes DIY investors fun to watch...

The wage gains were more than expected which sounds like a good thing (and it is) but it will cause the Fed to ramp up interest rates faster than expected. Imo we need to get back to historically normal interest rates.

1- are close to retirement, and your funds are already balanced accordingly.so no need to panic
2- aren't close to retirement, in which case you welcome this.
It may work out for him, but more often than not its a bad idea.
Oh and this is over less than 4% in the past week

The big concern is interest rates. As long as treasury notes are going to go up, the market will fall. Keep an eye on the 10yr notes.
