Ah...... July...... Seems the buyers have all fled the market -- and you all are probably asking yourself why you're invested. HA!! I've been telling you for months --- remember these good days where the market seems to go up every day!

It's summer.... summer always sucks. It usually begins in May -- but this year it started later. People just seem to be doing everything other than "the market". It's a good time to pick away at putting some employees to work -- just know that after you buy - the stock will take a dollar dump the next day.

My guess is -- we continue the death of a 1000 cuts -- thru August. I know personally -- I'm doing a bunch of fun stuff rather than looking outside and seeing the rain fall and buying stocks. The market goes up when more people are buying than selling.... the market falls when, even if people aren't really selling in earnest -- but there's nobody around to bid 'em up. Learn the difference of a market sell off ---- and a period when there's just no interest in buying. They're markedly different.
