Investors’ response should depend on risk tolerance. Aggressive buyers should begin scaling back into the market between present levels and support Ritholtz has been “harping on about” at 1875 on the Nasdaq, 9900 on
the Dow, and 1070 on the S&P 500. More conservative investors should wait for a big reversal day – a high volume selloff and recovery with a swing of about 3%. (NPB)
