The Stock Market is down almost 10% this morning and trading has been suspended. Four years worth of gains have been erased in ten days.

I got out of the market some time ago, it's no place for an old man, and all my money is tied up in cash. The Fed has lowered interest rates to near zero so cash ain't so great either. If interest rates fall below zero and the Bank starts charging me a fee to hold my money, I'll take it out and put it under my mattress. My mattress will get lumpier than it already is but only a little.
