Me? I\u2019m yawning. I\u2019ve seen this happen before and I will probably see it again. The market has had a massive run up in the last year and is due for a correction. Basically, investors are selling their stocks and cashing in their profits. There is also the problem of automated trading.<\/p>\n
Computers running algorithms see something that meets their parameters and they initiate automated buy and sell commands. This can magnify market swings until the trading houses get things under control. It\u2019s also why there are automatic \u201cStops\u201d in place. I was talking with a coworker and he wasn\u2019t aware of them. I don\u2019t recall the limits, but I think it\u2019s 5% in either direction, then a stop kicks in and trading is halted for a while. This allows the markets to cool off a bit, reboot the computers if needed and make sure there is an actual reason for what\u2019s happening. We didn\u2019t hit those limits.<\/p>\n
As to the reasons why the selloff occurred? Part of it was profit taking, part of it was the fear that the Federal Reserve was going to jack up interest rates. If interest rates are raised, it makes it more expensive to borrow money. (Duh) However, thanks to the new tax bill, a lot of companies are swimming in cash and are now bringing it back into the United States. They want to invest it, so they don\u2019t need to borrow all that much money.<\/p>\n
That fact tends to throw a big wrench into the Federal Reserves works. They see their role as \u201cGuiding the economy.\u201d In point of fact, the Fed, as they\u2019re more commonly called, are generally responsible for some of the worst recessions as well as a major cause for the Great Depression. I\u2019m not going into the constitutional issues of the very existence of the Federal Reserve Board, others have done that far better then I can.<\/p>\n
All I will say is DON\u2019T PANIC!! Yes the market is going down. However, it will go back up again. The Mostly Stupid Media may scream out \u201cALL THE GAINS FOR THE YEAR ARE GONE!!!!!\u201d, but they won\u2019t bother to mention that the \u201cYear\u201d is only a month old.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Market may drop down to 20K or even a bit lower, but then the bargain hunters will move in. Many people forget the first rule of the successful investor. Buy low and sell high! For small investors such as myself? Just ignore what\u2019s happening. Over the long term, as long as you don\u2019t panic, you will do quite well. Just remember this:<\/p>\n
