The violent swings within the market are more typical of a bear market than a bull market," Mary Ann Bartels, technical research analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, told clients in a report earlier this week.

The U.S. and global stock markets are being repriced to reflect a new reality. Weak economies are getting weaker. In the U.S., government stimulus did not give the economy traction or inspire confidence. The Federal Reserve, for now at least, is on hold; there is for the moment no new rescue plan, no QE3 or even QE 2.75. Plus there is little spirit in Washington for cooperation on spending and revenue concerns. Read more: Cutting taxes or red tape won't create jobs.

Investors are positioning themselves for what is being called "The Age of Deleveraging," or "The New Normal." Whatever you bill it, this is not a normal business-cycle correction. This is a balance-sheet crisis. At such times, markets feel every bump in the road, recoveries are susceptible to the slightest shocks, and recessions tend to occur every two to three years instead of every five to 10 as they do during typical business expansions and contractions.

....dinner with friends last night...some very bright, but non-business types...amazingly naive about the global situation in finance but I just listened and enjoyed them...
