Last year, 2017, was a not a normal year for stocks. Stocks as an asset class are not meant to go straight up without even a 1% pullback. But that is precisely what happened for nearly an entire year.Now that massive market rig is over. And anyone who continues to invest as though it’s 2017 is going to get annihilated in the coming weeks.

Interbank lending crashed a month ago that's one of the reasons for the recent -10% stock market correction. Its getting bad when even the banks don't trust each other enough to loan money to one another. Those who believe the economy is about to lift off have it ass backward. The economy is on its final legs.

The first trading day of the second quarter was a bloodbath... In fact the worst since The Great Depression. At one point it was down 760 points.
