Many folks had enjoyed the recent stock market which had moved us a lot further along in feeling like the economy is coming back. But then one uncertainty sends our fragile mindset into a tailspin. The day after the drop, the S&P 500 went down even more…

What’s even worse is that we even had some pretty good news on the jobs front come out yesterday. No matter, we’re already swayed.

Have to wonder if any highly capitalized hedge funds realize they may be able to move the market now. Volatility and fear never make for good growth.

Update: I guess $1 Trillion in a bailout from the EU gets us closer.
