The market is down over 4% today and 9% in a week. I have expected the market to correct for some time. The correction creates some positives for the economy. First, the lower oil and other commodity prices which will be good for inflation. The high inflation around the world is the major culprit cause the slowdown. Second, Europe has been pushed to the corner so a solution will finally come in a form to require more sacrifices from Germany but more power to Germany as well. Third, if the economy can recover, it will be on its own without the help of fiscal and monetary easing which is much more healthy than artificial pop up by QE.
The worst thing can happen is The Fed will come in again and do a QE3 which will inflate everything. If that happens, be afraid.
