What a CRAZY market ?!  I wonder when this is going to settle down.  I see a lot of increased activity in my business, and people coming out of the woodwork ... if only the rates would be kind enough to get the majority of these folks to act!

Derek,

I'd just like a two or three week period of tranquility!  Now I know why some people compare this market to stormy weather!! 

The Fed truly is not acting from a position of strength.  It should have started dropping rates a long time ago.  A drop of one full percent could be interpreted by some as a "bold more" and by others as a "panic move."  The last thing we need is more of a panic mentality.  Thanks for sharing.

We will all be watching and I agree we need a wild ride (bottom put in place) or this is going to be a long painful ride... just my opinion.

Your Friend in Charlottesville, Virginia!

You're right on that. Besides the media it's the uncertainty that have most people freaked. If we could hit the bottom fast and hard we might get a little bounce. If we just keep sliding into it, it will be a long painful ride.

Great post.   I can't wait to see what happens by the end of this year.   Looks like we are in for a great ride with ups and downs this year.
