It’s tough sledding in the market today, and even growth names that have exhibited resolve are starting to slip.  I think there are a number of issues at play. The sobering reality maybe the economy is not as strong as expected.  This is not a surprise to me, as the data has been clear.

I think it’s best not to panic, because there are other issues that have nothing to do with fundamentals, including: 

  • Anxiety over the next catalyst
  • Efforts to bring back harsh economic and personal freedom restrictions
  • Bracing for earning season - which will be amazing
  • Bracing for tomorrow's FOMC minutes
