Sure starting to seem like it.  It's been a total blood bath lately for tech stocks in particular.

It's related to the 10 year Treasury bond yields.

As T-bill yields increase, people see equities as less appealing investments because of the higher risks. They like the safer investment, so investment moves out of equities.

Then what do they do with the cash?  Sure take some profit but then you’ll put it in other securities. Nobody is just going to sit on large amounts of cash.

Earnings won't be increasing as much as last quarter.  But companies are still profitable, and there is still a lot of cash on the sidelines.

Wait for the FOMC to raise interest rate by .25% in Dec.  they are taking away the punchbowl and with it, liquidity.  It’s global too.

just a minor correction to shear some sheep, then it'll be green and the next leg up in a few days.

2% isnt a crash anymore. 10-20% maybe...anything else in between is just theater.

Maybe since all the tech hardware is made in China and we are in trade dispute territory and they put spy tech and possibly kill switches in the products?

Volume's been low though, which is a good sign that the institutions aren't panic selling.
We saw similar pullbacks in early February and late March. The stock market isn't for the skittish.

I could use a good crash.

Unfortunately it wouldn't bode well for Trump's re-election, so I'd rather just see some small corrections for a couple more years.

According to gym007 it should crash on Monday. Don't ask him which Monday though.

Average recession [length] post-WW2 is 10 months. Trump would have time to recover for 2020.

There was the 1981/1982 recession that lasted 16 months and Reagan won 525 electoral votes in 1984.

Since 1979, the stock market has only had 1 run where it was negative for more than a year. That was 2000-2002.

A correction's timing would be ideal right now.

The stock market usually comes back from its low inside of 2 years. I think the big exception to that was post-2008 Obama. The market wasn't at pre-correction levels until 2012.

Looks about right. You're selling if we break below 7000 and then buying back in at "FO TIME" if we do?

Don't focus on the here and now. Look at the growth over the last two years. It is not crashing. Tech is always risky

YTD Boeing is below the goal threshold though. The $15 his today sucks. But it just cancelled out the last week and a half of gains. Oh well.

As an official old fart, I have seen a drop of a bit over 500 points when the market was at 1,500 so this is not a big deal.  Merely a correction.

Not providing investment advice, but the chart suggests a lot of shares have traded hands since COMPQ 7k.

Who has sold and who has bought from them?

COMPQ 4250 is a place where the buyers overwhelmed the sellers and provided a foundation for the run to 8k.

These prices reflect levels where buyers have shown up to move the market higher, but those events do not mean that sellers will not overwhelm buyers the next time.

Zoom out to the macro level and what are the markers for this casino?

USD

How are these markers created?

Credit Expansion

The only reason the market casino has trended higher for the past 80 years is because we started at cash, unlevered price levels across the entire economy after WW2.  If the credit expansion is not supported in aggregate - privately and/or publicly - we get deflation.  Deflation is falling prices, contract defaults and debt destruction.

We had an unprecedented bailout in 2008 that was opposed by the general public, so the odds are very high that the next deflation cycle will not be rescued with a trillion dollar annual deficit-spending policy.

Debits = Credits
