The Dow was down over 200 points, its lows for the morning, just before the Fed's announcement. The market was down sharply again, causing the Feds to intervene in the US market. This has brought the market back some and it continues to rise. Jay

That used to be a -10% move in a major index. The [link\|http://finance.google.com/finance?cid=626307\|S&P500] is still above where it was in March. It's only 6% down from the all-time high on July 13. It might get much worse, but at the moment it just looks like the market is volatile. People who buy-and-hold should ignore it. Cheers, Scott.
