    I wouldn't count on this fall lasting very long. Too many stimulus dollars around still. Its literally uncharted territory.

        Wow the stock market fell for almost a few minutes then!



        Stock markets, like property, only ever go up. Especially when everyone is printing money and it needs a place to stay.

          No that's not quite it. The panic hasn't happened yet.

            Most of that printed money is staying round at the US/UK Treasury.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              I thought it was propping up the balance sheets of the banks?

                      The panic didn't take hold. It will at some point.
