Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Falling projections for crude demand sent oil prices plummeting to fresh five-year lows. Sinking oil, predictably, hit energy stocks, but also bled into the broader market. Some traders cited managers locking down gains in other sectors as losses in energy mounted. Bonds rose, while emerging-markets most dependent on oil exports fell.
