Misfit; You say "what if". My DD tells me that this is exactly what is happening in the marketplace at the moment. There is tremendous evidence that most of the selling is coming from investment funds. Most of this selling is taking place at a loss, and is not voluntary. They have experienced so much liquidation from their clients and they have to cover to stay above water. I expect this will continue for another week, although gradually abating by the end of September. Anyone who has the balls to remain calm during this selloff, or even better, has the means to increase their holdings will reap some nice rewards this winter. I certainly am adding whenever I can.
