Not like that. I think it was a precursor. All we need is another negative event, natural or unnatural(like an Iranian missile strike on Israel) and it is off to the races. Do you remember how long it took to build the stock market back after 9-11? We do not have another bubble to float the stock market this time and we have high unemployment. I am very skeptical of the explanations being floated to explain the drop. Hang on to you butts.
