I have nothing invested in the market. I comment on the DJIA because it's the most common index people use to talk about the market.

It goes up and it goes down. When it acts strangely, like this afternoon, I want to know why. It signaled something before there was any news about it.

I got an answer. I made no judgement call at all about the fluctuation. It happened. It has now been explained. It's all just news.
