Ooh, glad I wasn't around today...inverted yield curve jitters again. Nothing new there. $VIX finally hit the "nervous" level. Same old same old, but August illiquidity kicked in and the downside accelerated.

The big money already went light equities before today. the 3 and 10 has been inverted since May. Suddenly the gold argument makes sense. Hindsight.

Nothing we learned today was new. Algorithmic trading doesn't think. It responds. There is nothing fundamental that would rationalize this move aside from the bond market imploding.

So the market move was inverted to the current temperatures this summer. And it will bask in the headlines tonight and steal the weather's thunder. CNBC will do its "MIT" program tonight because fear buys lot of advertising dollars. This move has been brewing for a long time. The US market just caught the world's flu.

A few disillusioned people will forgo the Starbucks tomorrow and begin a new love affair with McDonald's java. And they'll think about calling their broker.

Can't see the mommasitas telling their kids, no school supplies this year, market just blew thru 25,000.

Don't try to out-think a machine. Don't try to make an intelligent move when you don't have all the facts. We're nowhere near the Dec lows. Where's Trump today? Did he say anything?

Value stocks won't do well next year because most are in energy and financials. Doh! What about the other bezillion value stocks that aren't?

Gary, your comment has nothing to do with the article and your comment makes no sense anyway - take your political opinion to Twitter where it belongs.

I don't agree. If anything we should turn up our sensitivity gauges now and see if this runaway train can be stopped. I doubt it will but it's better than lying down and letting it run us over. And it isn't data overload. It's one man, the President who has inextricably tied himself to the stock market via his war with the fed and the dollar. That's pretty unprecedented. He's the most vocal and dangerous president to the markets we've ever had.

Sorry Mr Author, I couldn't disagree more. There is nothing that is great about any of this. The genie is out of the box and we now find ourselves the unwilling victims of future technologies we have no control over. Our awareness has come too little too late. Our privacy is no longer ours. And there's no one and no way to stop it. Oh, politicians will try to use it to gain a voters but the empty words will amount to nothing but empty promises and empty results. And don't tell me there's an app that will help my cortisol levels when it was the other 5000 damned apps that got me strung out in the first place. You think you're paranoid now? They're just getting started. You want privacy? Unplug your computer, throw away your phone.

Do you type listening to Dire Straits with your tin foil hat on or off?

Powell said one big cut is better than two small ones..50 it is, was, and always will be..cheers

Whatever possessed the author to even for a nanosecond think NFLX a divi stock?

I would think lack of volume would be a concern
