Dig a little deeper and tell me you don't think it was a systemic glitch.

Could be the EU in alot of $$ trouble. I'm worried that it will give China the chance to dictate to us what the world currency should be.

Devil's advocate here. Let it go down some more, say..around $ 6500, then pick up some bargains. I did that in '08 and it worked well, I just didn't have enough spare $$ to buy as much as I wanted. Now 401K's are a different matter, especially if you're close to retirement.

+1. Sitting on cash to go down. With so many problems around, I think it might, but as someone said "The Market Can Stay Irrational Longer Than You Can Stay Solvent", it works either way. Although I couldnt resist, picked up SPY at 107.40. Now, they say its a glitch, tomorrow morning I would know, if I have those 50 I bought

I always thought the Euro was a ticking time bomb! Too many countries, cultures ands non-believers involved in the Euro.

Large rebound today shows that there are still a lot of buyers in the market. Volatility should be short term hopefully...

I always try to remember the sound advice my father gave me, "the market is LONG TERM, just ride it out son!"
