Breaking Story: Stock Market Down

"In a rarely seen event, the stock market was actually giving permission to fall by the helicopter force."

Now tomorrow should be interesting.

Questions I want to know answers to...

1) Do the Chinese even care anymore that the US market goes down?
2) Can we possibly be allowed to go down 2 days in a row?
3) Why do we we yawn?

Ok well at least 2 of these should be answered in 24 hours.
Actually much of what I like is holding up pretty well; I'd like to see some tankage in those names myself...

Fund is actually flat today on the strength of the 3 short ETFs, up from 4-5% each right now - finally doing what they are supposed to do (they have been a major drag on performance the past 6 weeks)

Cash is now up over 19% so I feel pretty well situated. If the market does tumble I won't be insulated completely but a lot better positioned than I was last Tuesday evening before I went to a more cautious game plan. VMWare (VMW) is down from $114 to $97 in a matter of 2 days, momentum works its ugly head both ways.... it would be nice to go back to the days of a normalized market with 3 days up, 2 down... and where stock picking not based simply on momentum trading works again. One can always hope. Let's see how the last half hour plays out.
