Mere drops-in-the-bucket for those two gargantuan entities.

Well, the Chairman of the Fed just said we had a very vibrant economy, with low unemployment, growing GDP, and very low inflation.

DOW -750 and still dropping. WTF! My 401k will be in the red YTD, sucks!

I would not be at all surprised if the stock market rebounds by as much tomorrow and Friday. The fundamentals are sound--there's manufactured panic, but now is NOT the time to lose your head!

I know.. When Brexit passed it was down 1000 points.. I said it would rebound in a day or two, which it did.

And he’s right. But monetary policy functions with long and variable lags. A very slow and gradual policy of moving rates back toward a neutral footing will not kill the economy at all, and that’s not the intention. But if you wait too long, you could have a problem, and might have to go much faster. No one wants that so they are raising rates, albeit at a snail’s pace. It’s the correct policy, and there’s no reason for them to stop.

I haven’t made a negative comment on the rate hike.

I’m not convinced we needed one now, and he confirmed my reasoning with his statement.

Soros , Goldman Sachs , and Dem Billionaires are happy to send the markets spinning if they regain control .
Trumps GS man left after not being able to sway his anti Globalist policies such as killing TPP and killing Global warming hoax taxes .
Its pay back time just in time for the midterms .

Traditionally, biggest drops are in October. However, crashes don't happen in mid-term election years. This is a small correction, and the stock market will rebound and continue growing into next year. As you say, fundamentals are strong. As for next year 2019 in October, one might lose their head. But things are good for now.

I don’t pretend to understand the equity markets, but I do know it went up and up breathlessly and so it is natural to have some profit taking pull backs.

Yep.. Actually expected them to pull this. I was going to invest last week, but then thought.. Nah.. better wait.

Hedge funds should be banned but for entirely different reasons. They tend to not beat the market and just make huge salaries for today’s Madoffs.
