The stock market has been long overdue for an adjustment.

What about a real estate adjustment? Is that coming next?

Olga,

Yes, I saw that, and what a great opp to buy.  A

I don't think so. A needed adjustment after the last year.

I see this as great news.... way overdue for a correction... creates buying opportunities for "smart" money... and the dumb money gets flushed out

All those Patriots fans selling off to cover their Super Bowl bets?

Hang on & enjoy the roller coaster!!!

Looks like a combo of a normal correction, wage inflation, and the general chaos of a pending government shutdown. 

   Buy low.  Now is the time.

I agree with Ron and Alexandra Seigel , this is a time to buy and make some money.

Took a bit of a hit today, but last month was a really good month in the equity markets. Not concerned one bit, one bad day does not break me.

There will always be market adjustments.

LOVED Bette Davis!  and yes, I think seat belts should have been fastend a litle over a year ago.... because it has been "a bumpy ride."

A whole year of unprecedented and historic gains.

The self correction should not be over yet.

I SUSTPECT A 6 THOUSAND POINT ADJUSTMENT IS NEEDED.

Hmm, how do those bitcoins look now?

love it.....great buying time...where is our Bitcoin friend......

Knowledge is Power when executed ...... 

I am not concerned ... corrections - adjustments are to be expected. 

I was hoping this would happen. I wanted to put more money in the stock market but the darn thing kept going up... I was on the sidelines. Now, is the time.

put a muzzle on a certain person in the white house.....

I don't have a crystal ball in real estate, but I believe it will continue to be a bumpy ride for now.  I'm not worried.  Just going to keep on keeping on!

I think this was overdue; I'm not worried.

To finish your (fitting) Bette Davis quote (with a small revision): "...it's going to be a bumpy road on Wall Street."  - Tim

Last week everyone was giving trump credit, today lets blame obama.

I have not watched the news.  Has anyone jumped from a ledge?

In the world of cryptocurrency, we say HODL (Hold On For Dear Life!)

I am not big on investing in the markets. I have only invested what I can afford to lose... not that yoy can ever afford to lose, but I think you know what I mean (it's not my last retirement dollar or my mortgage payment)

Nah, everything rises and falls from time to time.

Olga Simoncelli The DOW dropped 4.6% which isn't a lot in the overall picture. Just a minor adjustment or correction in the market.

It is an adjustment without the need to panic and cause real problems!

This could be profit taking. Time will tell. I care mor eabout the inerest rates and saying they will raise them 3 times this year, scares me more. 

Not a surprise. It has always been a roller coaster just like Real Estate. 

Maybe yes and you would know!

Olga Simoncelli - maybe, beginning of the end?

My broker has been telling me there would be a correction coming. Always has been and always will be.

Wall Street is a lot like Bitcoin - Greatly inflated

I'm not too worried yet. 

Real Estate cycles do the same thing only over time

In my humble opinion, we were overdue for a drop, as we havent been fluctuating much lately...
But I think our wild ride is coming sooner than we expect!

Profit takers getting a bit jittery

Seat belts were definitely required for a couple of days.

No idea

Depends on the source...
