But hey, buy the dip/s

The longer an upside move, the longer and deeper a downside move, assuming the market has not corrected. And it has not corrected in years. We are overdue.

And what your post highlights is that the economy has fundamental failings; it is not strong as the talking heads on CNBC claim. They have a vested interest to keep people buying. Listen to them at your own peril.

While I agree entirely with your post, I also strongly feel that the biggest fundamental failing the economy has is sitting in the White House. If he resigned tomorrow an was replaced by someone who truly believes in market economies, who believes in individual success, and who just made the statement that they were going to find a better solution than Obamacare - the market would recover in a heartbeat, consumer confidence would rise, and things would turn around.
