I don't think so. I would point at a number of things.

1 - Profit taking from recent rally
2 - General uneasiness in public opinion about the economy
3 - Interest rate increase
4 - Higher than expected consumer prices
5 - People freaking out after the first few days of sell-off

Now, if it goes on for more then another day or so then might start freaking out too. At the moment though I'm just waiting for it to stop so I can buy cheap again.
