Thanks for explaining.
Pretty funny seeing a 2007 Market Correction is Official title now knowing that was only the beginning of a really bad bear market.

Yes - and now I wish the "quotes" had the date attached - now it's confusing if the quote is related to the 2007 cycle or the current one. But very interesting.

I for one want a good market crash rather than the whiplashing back and forth.
Regardless, I plan is to stubbornly using my target AA as a guide no matter what happens.

No, that whiplash is where you can make money.

I am with you but just hit the 20% bear market level  and everyone can say that is the end of the bull market and take out that negative reference.

Here is one person's view of why we are seeing such volatility in the market:

We’ve long seen this sort of momentum in stock prices. What’s changed? An increasing number of investment firms have launched funds to take advantage of this momentum effect. These momentum funds scour the market, looking for stocks that are displaying strong directional moves. When they find them, they effectively jump on the bandwagon, buying stocks that are going up and selling stocks that are going down. While it’s difficult to quantify, these momentum funds amplify the market’s ups and downs by bidding up stocks that are already going up and putting downward pressure on shares that are already headed lower.
