A sea of red as the bear awakens from hibernation

A sea of red once again. It's not every day that we see stocks like CSE Global dropping 13%, or the likes of OCBC, SATS and QAF by more than 6% IN A SINGLE DAY?

STI is now at 2782, a far cry from 3,300 plus at a recent peak.

For somebody holding a portfolio of $10,000, a 20% drop is $2,000 difference.  If you have a portfolio of $1,000,000, that 20% is $200,000. 100x difference. Bearable?

Now's where the rubber hit the tarmac. For those who say they can tolerate a 40% drop and will not sell down in panic, here's validation time.

What's your reaction like so far?  Are you flinching yet?  A twitch maybe?

And by the way, it's tax season. Have you filed your Income Tax yet?
