One interesting situation that we looked at when covering the issue was a report by Trimtabs. One of their directors was quoted as saying redemptions in June and July from hedge funds "likely sparked the dislocation in the equity markets in the summer". In a bizzarre twist, it looks likely that nervous investors withdrawing money from funds actually contributed to the market decline. A self fulfilling prophecy if evr I have seen one..

I think it is funny how right now, strong economic data can actually hurt the market because it reduces the chance that the Fed will cut rates. You would think that strong economic data would be good, but that isn't where the focus is, so everyone is hoping for a rate cut. That being said, I would expect the volatility to continue as various pieces of data come out, including foreclosure rates, but you'll see swings the other way as the Fed reacts. I think this will just continue to keep the market choppy as things like rate cuts, bailouts, or other measures are more or less just short-term band-aids on a much larger issue.

Do you think an increase in foreclosures will bring the market further down in the short term? Or will action by the Fed be enough to counter that? Excellent analysis.
