1. Waiting impatiently for the opening bell. What will happen? If the trend continues, it can't be good

For him.

3. We're due for turbulence, consolidation at the top

I think it would take 3 months of malaise to turn the averages over into a crash.

4. Economists said that this is a good correction

in a market that was getting too high. They said if it continues for a week, then it will be time to be concerned.

5. We're staring down a trillion dollar government shortage.

That'll affect things worldwide.

6. Where is that woman who was crowing about her extra $1.50???

Or her enabler Paul Ryan? If she has any money in retirement accounts that $1.50 has disappeared already.

Some people are really, really stupid.

7. She really wasn't "crowing".

I watched an interview with her on CNN. She said she just replied to a survey (on FB, I think). She seemed like a very nice woman. She's a teachers aide. She just thought about what she could do with the buck and a half and said the only thing she could come up with was her Costco membership fee. LOL. I think Ryan was the only one trying to "crow" about it.
