Indigestion
After hitting an all-time high of 13,676 on Monday June 4, 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial average fell 1.5% through Wednesday, and is down again today, along with other broad market indices.
In terms of reaction, analysts and pundits can be divided into three groups. The “Bears” argue the market was overvalued, is still overvalued, and that the US economy is in trouble unless the Fed cuts rates. In other words this is just the beginning of the bad times.
