First, even after this twoday, markets not down much at all. The s p 500s only off about 4 , dows off 5. 7 , nasdaq which totally red hot going into this week is down 3. T2 . Barely down at all especially when you consider this high index is up 22 for the year. That perspective matters. Today the high fliers in the nasdaq, the linkedin, teslas finally cracked, my favors celgene, regeneron and gilead. But very few can hold up even if they dont have that economic sensitivity. These highfly selloffs dont end in a day or two. They tend to last three four days before they start bouncing back and usually bounce back with a vengeance. Accept theyve been big winners and big winners do sell off and then your call not mine whether you can handle the disturbance, or if you want to ring the register, i suspect theyll go back when the deal is done. Again, perspective on things. As i like to do every time i get discouraged like today, i take a look at the wall street journal from october 4th of 2011
