It’s kind of funny how 3 days in the red has so many people worried that the rally is over. Come on folks, is the market supposed to go up every day? Can’t we sell off 3-5% without thinking the end is near???

Now, I don’t want to be labeled a Pollyanna here because certainly, I do see some of the potential hazards on the horizon. Yet, right now those hazards are pretty fairly balanced against odds that we will have a slow, yet steady recovery which will keep the market aloft. So forgive me for not panicking at this time.
