I know nothing about the stock market.  I've never quite understood it.  The market falls, and the pundits solemnly posit that an airplane crash in a remote South Pacific island has shaken investors to their core and started a mad, panicky sell-off.  Or the price of roses on Valentine's Day goes down, and suddenly the DOW spikes to a 2 year high.  It all seems like so much hooey to me.

And I only exaggerate slightly, after all.  My favorite thing is when I hear of "less than anticipated earnings".  Does this mean a company saw no profits?  Well, no, just not as much as they might have hoped for. 

Then again, like I said, I know nothing.

Oh, heck, who cares, this is my blog, isn't it..nobody's reading my musings anyhow.  So what was the big deal yesterday, anyway.  So what?  We've had record highs for what seems like forever (sky-falling liberals to the contrary).  Why would anyone be shocked that every now and then the market would "course correct" (H/T "Lost").
