3. "Way down"?!?

140 points at this level is by no means "way down". Barely point seven five of a percent as of 12:10.

Now I am by no means defending anything our little tinpot is doing, but this isn't a big move at all. You'll have something if it's down 1000 points in a week or less, but this is nothing.

5. Quibble quibble. It dropped 200 + points from this morning's high in a few minutes.

Yes I understand that this is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Point is something spooked traders for the moment - it actually is creeping back up again.

8. LOL...

Ok, fine. And again, all is not rosy I admit.

This is an interesting story;

4. Health care.

The market is correcting due to trumps health care plan due up for vote Thursday. When it doesn't pass the house, market will continue to drop.

All of the increase is speculation that trump could get health care reform, tax reform, and infrastructure passed, one after another.

If they don't happen, market will keep falling.

That's my uneducated opinion, anyway.

6. how come trump isn't out bragging about the stock market anymore....

i'm sure when it goes down, it's someone else's fault, but when it rises.....

9. Nothing out of the ordinary, yet.

Markets fluctuate.
