4. That's pretty typical of crashing markets, I think.
They overreact to every puff of breeze rather than reflecting anything to do with actual value. WooHoo--Bailout, up 500; Oh, shit, maybe no bailout, down 900, something else, up 400, eek! No consumer sales, down 600, etc.

Jackpine's Second Law: When the market's acting crazy, only crazy people play the market.

10. Seven steps backward, four steps forward
The trend is going to be down until we get rid of Stupid, IMO. The economy needs a radical change the GOP will never provide because their core dogma forbids it.

They are good at crashing it, though.
