    A 'perfect storm' correction is coming, and nothing can stop it: Rosenberg

    http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/09/a-per...economist.html

    "I wouldn't be surprised that we see some kind of repeat as we had towards the end of last year into January-February, which was something close to a 12 percent correction."

    "
    you've got a lot of hedge funds in the futures options market that have been chasing performance here up to the price highs, and it doesn't take much in the way of any sort of near-term adverse news to cause the market to correct."

    On average, September, which is historically the worst-performing month for stocks, only sees positive returns about half the time. In the fourth quarter, the S&P 500 has fallen more than 10 percent just once in the past 20 years.

    Cramer: Charts reveal the real culprit taking down the entire stock market

    http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/11/crame...ck-market.html

    Once-loved stocks like General Electric, Under Armour, Disney and Starbucks have all underperformed this year, and Moreno fears that the continued weakness could weigh on the entire market.

    "GE's got a lot of aerospace, which is today's big freak out, so I understand the weakness, but I still believe that $25 would be a huge and unlikely bargain."

    Leon Cooperman: 'The world is all crazy'

    http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/11/leon-...all-crazy.html

    "the world is "turned upside down," from negative interest rates in Japan and Europe to the unprecedented U.S. presidential election."

    "
    Against that backdrop, U.S. stocks are "fully valued," Cooperman contended. "The market is fully valued, not exploited, not overvalued, but fully valued."

    "I think there are many companies that are very cheap relative to the index ... because the money flowing into the market is largely going into these indexed products."

    "
    Cooperman also said nominal GDP growth should be around 4 percent, which means the fed funds overnight lending rate should be 2 percent, not 37 basis points."

    "
    Central bankers will next meet in November to decide on whether to raise rates."

    "
    Cooperman also said the 10-year Treasury yield, trading near 1.76 percent early Tuesday, should be around 4 percent."

    Personal computer sales continue to slide

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/personal-...215547471.html

    "in the third quarter of this year totaled 68.9 million units in a 5.7 percent decline from the same period a year earlier"

    "
    It was the eighth quarter in a row that PC shipments have dropped, marking the longest duration of decline in the history of the industry"

    "
    most consumers own and use at least three different types of computing devices, with PCs low on the priority list."

    "
    "In emerging markets, PC penetration is low, but consumers are not keen to own PCs," "

    "
    Chinese titan Lenovo clung to its spot as top PC maker with about 21 percent of the market, but US-based Hewlett-Packard pulled almost even,"

    I think the problem with PC sales are that for basic usage the old ones are good enough. If nothing breaks there is nothing pushing you to buy a new one so why would you? The last two desktops I bought were from thrift for $10 & $20 a piece. These were both dual core 64 bit CPU machines with 4 GB of RAM. They were 8 year old machines but still good enough for homework and just surfing the net. No need to buy new for that.
