thanks captain obvious, yeah a correction is/was more than overdue and the DOW is now in correction territory, the question is what's next? more QE? will it matter?big market gains?, more losses?, the fed is looking for an exit strategy and seemingly doesn't have one...what about oil? 40 bux/bbl has a lot of implications worldwide...have central banks lost control? we've had virtual ZIRP for 7 years now, it hasn't helped japan who's had the same for 25 or so years now...
Corrections from time to time are good for the market long term. Smart money starts buying soon for long term gains.

so stay the course for all eternity? What good is a downward ride? especially a large one like the lehman event? is another lehman event in the near future? distant future? both? at what point do central banks "lose control"? ( as some assert china already has)or do central banks always manage to keep things from imploding?

Only spent 30% of my cash stash as some dollar cost averaging is smart in case the drop continues.
