    Why the panic sell off?

    When you see it and feel it, that is typically the bottom. And when you do not see it or not feel it, it is typically the top.

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    You and I knew there would be no rate hike. I believe the next rate change is more likely down. If they get to 0.25% then hiking as a next rate change could make sense.
