Looks like it's not a market correction it's a market meltdown. Dow will be like 400 points lower given that today's just released PMI across Eurozone is weaker than expected.
Also Dow will be ultimately 30% lower than the current level. 🙏🏾🙏☺️

Also, do the labor statistics matter less in an economy where all the money is concentrated at the very top.

I love that this market meltdown came out of a marginally weaker employment number and forex volatility in japan. Is that a black swan event? Market acting as discounting mechanism? Where are our heroic financial professionals to come and support the market based on what we've been assured are good fundamentals; This is not 1999/2000 has been said widely. It's the carry trade I hear, is that comforting or concerning? Gold trading down? Interesting to see how the fed put comes into play here.
