"but is this an indication (yet again) there is "something" over/on the horizon people "in the know" know?"
Hardnfast, this is an indication that there are some sheep out there who blindly follow the DOW.
DOW is down so we will be down now. I ask you why? Compared with the US our dollar is strong, our economy is strong and our main trading partners are Asian.
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU FOLLOW THE USA!!
