Retesting lows

Monday was a bloodbath, I expeded DOW -400, but over 600, wow.
In any event, if S&P index closes below 780, I'm concerned, and if DOW closes below 7,552, I may panic out of many positions.

But for now, I am staying long, and buying a little extra on the dip.
And to show how on-the-ball the media & financial experts are, today the US was declared in a Recession! Yes, until today, the us wasn't in a recession. BTW, this declaration is backdated to December 2007. I assume we'll know if the USA is in a depression about the time the depression is ending.......

Today the Market Ticker Blog has a particularly great rant on how the Fed, Treasury caused this mess, and have taken NO responsibility for their actions to day.
