They tapered off QE and finally had one little rate hike after 7 years...and the house of cards seems to be falling. This says more about the 2009-2014 bull market than the current crash.
The most credible explanation I've heard is significant liquidation by sovereign wealth funds and wealthy individuals associated with those countries - in order to raise cash to meet the shortfall created by lower oil prices.
Remember, this is a two way street. Just as the funds are coming out when there's no material change in underlying equity valuation metrics, those funds can also flow back in when oil rebounds and they need a place to park the cash.

I think this should be called the Chicken Little Drop. And I really might enjoy it more if they would stop bringing the scary bears out of hibernation. Up is good, down is bad. I get it already. The first guy who celebrates the fact that change is good and creates opportunity for the swift and smart gets a gold star. And a share of stock in the next new thing. Courtesy of Swimr. Stop with the negativity!
