This correction was long overdue  though market fundamentals are still very strong and the S&P is undervalued. | ||||

| I mean, I know the libs of the forum (or anywhere) don't want the US to fail or bad things to happen, but surely the economy doing well is the only thing the GOP has to boast about, and my guess is that politically speaking, that being gone would be beneficial to the libs. So sure, I can see why they'd be 'happy' that the economy is doing bad. But let's face the facts folks, the economy is doing well. It's china that has to worry.

But in reality, the world's economy is so tight-knitted that any market that goes down affects ours as well. I don't know that we'll ever be free of that. | ||||

Market looks pretty good. I actually thought it might stay about the same or might take a few days to raise again. Maybe not. | ||||

| 50 points and hopefully if continues on. I'm surprised nobody else is worried how much China's market impacts ours, when supposingly we have a much larger and stable one. That the Communist party can just adjust things and suddenly ours takes a shit. The housing market is slowing down, oil prices are expected to jump with the peak season and current increases. We're gaining jobs overall but also losing manufacturing jobs. so picking and choosing what's going on needs to stop, and so should ANY kind of partisan bias over responsibility. | ||||
