Re: Wow

Perhaps Jerry means gains from longer than just this year? If you had a stock that was up 100 percent over three years and just dropped 10 percent or more, you might want to sell now before it drops more. This has been a pretty good bull market for about 4 years now so I expect we would see quite a bit of that kind of selling. And yeah, it is going to be tough going forward without foreign investment into the US. But perhaps they will come here as tourists and buy more of our goods since they are cheaper for them now. The government will probably figure out a way to mess that up. ;-)

Gains? Gains this year were marginal and does not make up for the devaluation. In fact if you were a citizen of Canada or even Costa Rica (Costa Rica?) you would have lost money had you invested in the US stock market.

There is a lot of fear built into the market. This may be due to all the previous gains - folks would like to keep earnings.

A few weeks ago nothing could keep this market down, now nothing can
keep it up.

This is Aero's work, I think he's Satan.
