FYI: This is an ugly quarter to finish off a year when pretty much every asset class has declined. Pundits attribute the declines to a variety of reasons including an aggressive Fed, collapsing energy prices, fears of a trade war with China, and a plethora of other economic and geopolitical villains. However, in my opinion most investors are focused on far more visceral concerns: Is this the end of the post-financial meltdown run-up in equities? How deep will the correction cut? How long will it last? Should I go to cash and wait out the coming blood bath?
