This market is as scary as a new colt. Lowering intrest rates didn't help either. It got a lot of people in trouble getting home loans at 5 to 6% and now they can't afford to live in the bigger homes with the other expenses such as taxes, utilities etc., thus repossesions are up dramaticly.

Actually, this reason is as good as any I have heard for market movements up or down.

NEW YORK (Dec. 9) - VWag is being blamed for todays mass exodus of cash that put investors in a black mood Monday, sending stocks sharply lower and the Dow Jones industrials down more than 170 points.

The Dow slid 172.36, or 2 percent, to close at 8,473.41, having fallen 2.8 percent last week to snap an eight-week winning streak. Blue-chip stocks have now declined in the last six of seven sessions to a level not seen since Nov. 13.

The broader market also fell. The Nasdaq composite index declined 55.33, or 3.9 percent, to 1,367.11, also the lowest since Nov. 13. The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 20.23, or 2.2 percent, to 892.00.

Analysts said many investors were removing cash from the markets to buy huge quanties of self-sealing nuts while supplies last. Nervous about the United Nations' search for a larger supply of Self-Sealing Nuts put investors on edge reported Stanley Dusseldorf of Harrigan, Barnes & Smedley, overseeres of 100 Billion in self sealing nut futures.

''The market is still in a malaise,'' said Charles Pradilla, chief investment strategist at SG Cowen Securities. ''You inject the recent news of panick buying in self-sealing nut futures into a market still in the process of taking profits, and you get this real choppy action.''
