[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 515149"] The DOW is now down about -3,500 points from its high. If this is like corrections in the past, you could start seeing a lot more computer stop loss sell orders. Also, I wouldn't doubt if a lot of hedge funds and investment funds start moving their money around to protect themselves and keep enough money around for multiple reasons...one for customers that put in sell and withdrawal requests. All of these things add to the downward momentum and emotions just like they do the reverse on the way up. Its part of life, and the stock market has a large portion of its direction based upon emotion. You'll start seeing more news stories about the decline, which makes more average Joes that don't usually pay attention want to move their money to more conservative investment vehicles, and then rinse and repeat. As I've said before, if you have money you don't need for at least a few years, the stock market may not be a bad place for it (I'd recommend dollar cost averaging on the way down)...but for me personally, I don't have any money I expect to need in the next 5 years in the stock market. Good luck, and peace. Definitely always have money on the side to invest, so if there ever is a real severe decline, you can take advantage of it. After the great recession and after the dot-com collapse...9/11 they turned out to be great buying opportunities. [/QUOTE]
