Weekend Link Love: Market Volatility Edition

June 15th, 2013 | 4 Comments

Anyone watching the markets this week.  Big swings up and down.  But mostly down.  I wonder if this is the start of a market correction bringing stock prices back down to more reasonable valuations.

Another weekend, another collection of links.  Enjoy.

   Thanks for the mention! personally, I think the markets are just making a correction – the big dip should be in the second half of this year.

   Thanks so much for the mention MFIJ, I really appreciate it. Not certain if it’s a correction or not, but there is certainly more volatility going on. Could definitely be an interesting next few weeks/months.

   Thanks for the mention. As for the markets, they were still swinging around yesterday, too. We’ll see what this month brings in the second half.
