3. Not to mention those are trivial percentages.

Some days the market goes up. Some days it goes down. It is almost never exactly the same at the close as it was at the open.

4. S&P 500 is down about 6.3% from it's Sept 2 all-time-high close of 3581. A "pullback" but not a

"correction" -- correction territory begins at 10%.

5. Daily fluctuations don't bother me that much

What scares the hell out of me right now is the corporate debt bomb. Along with the consumer bomb and the college loan bomb, when those all go off, they're going to take everything with them, at least for a couple of years.
