Yes, I think we all know that the stock market is at an all time high and has been trending upward in general over the past ten years. There is no doubt about that.

I think we should panic.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Soros: It's the 2008 crisis all over again
Billionaire financier George Soros is warning of an impending financial markets crisis as investors around the world were roiled by turmoil in China trade for the second time this week.Speaking an economic forum in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo, he told an audience that China is struggling to find a new growth model and its currency devaluation is transferring problems to the rest of the world, according to media. He added that a return to rising interest rates was proving difficult for the developing world.
The current environment reminded him of the "crisis we had in 2008," The Sunday Times in Sri Lanka reported on Thursday morning. "China has a major adjustment problem," he added, according to Bloomberg. "I would say it amounts to a crisis."

For every analyst predicting gloom & doom, there is another saying things are going to be all right:
And, if all else fails:
Have a nice day!

I was watching a bit of 'Fast Money' on CNBC last night and they noted a couple of similarities between 2008 and right now.
Commodities prices (oil) is crashing
Wal Mart stock is rising while most other equities are falling
And the third one I forget and I can't find it. I think it was a technical sign in the bond markets.
Anyway, it's interesting but I think it just a natural correction after a long run up. Not time to panic and really is an opportunity to buy for the next bull market.
