The market makes the news...the news doesn't make the market. Who cares how its spun/not spun? Do you really think institutional investors look to the newspapers to make their decisions? All of the major indexes have lost support of the February 2018 lows and have given no indication that a bounce is coming soon. What is interesting is that last week's sell off came on very high volume yet the selling has been reasonably orderly. IMO that suggests that we need a massive spike in volatility for this move to end.
Regardless, Diaper Don claimed ownership of the markets last year as we approached the longest market expansion in history. So, I think it's only fair that he accept ownership of this sell off, irrespective of why it's happening.
