Is This Time Going to Be Like 1929?
Hello Friends!  Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice!  As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on this website. How do you describe the trading action on Wall Street? A "correction"?  A "Bear Market"?  Or is it more like a slow-motion crash.  A crash that isn't really that slow at all!

The Mortgage Option
It's a case where market psychology became more important than the fundamentals, and that's why they had to act. There's no immediate crisis.
