That isn't even a blip. Worse drops occur when someone yells happy birthday on the trading floor.

Wake me when it gets to 10%.

The market isn't behaving rationally. It's freebasing 8 balls on the trading floor. 1/2% isn't even a sniffle, let alone a cold.

I really am- But, it's coming soon. This "market" is not normal, nor sustainable.

on any concerning news, simply because it has moved so high lately.

Day, week, etc., aren't over, but doesn't appear the drone strike has really shaken markets.

Should have dropped a ton by now. The top 1/10% can now control the market imo. Never have so few controlled so much.

Because it was going to plummet immediately. Haven't heard much about it from them for quite awhile.

I made a mint investing big after 9/11 and after the 2008 housing bubble.
