I think people make things up and do not realize how transparent what they are saying is. As you pointed out no one is pulling out of their IRA over this and anyone that thinks a 100 point move in the DOW is "an event" obviously does not really follow the market. I've seen at least a dozen threads in the last week screaming the sky was falling for really marginal movement in the markets. I mean, am I a little concerned what happens in the babies in DC do not solve their argument ASAP? Sure. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to laugh at the Chicken Little histrionics I've been seeing.
