On the plus side, maybe I'll have someplace to put my sideline money if the Dow goes into a four digit drop. I saw everyone is throwing dough into Treasuries right now and they just took a tumble. Down nearly 10bps right now.

DJI down over 1k points now.  Stocks globally taking hefty hits today.
Oil down around $9.

All things considered, I think we were due for some sort of correction anyway.  Not going to worry about it.
I suspect oil will head back up over the next week or three.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
