This would have been a good day for short-sellers and nothing was more predictable. As of last evening, the forecast was for the Dow to dump 600 points due to the Greenland issue. That turned out to be optimistic as there was actually an 870 point loss and we knew there was trouble when the S&P lost 143, so very rare to lose 3-digits. The question: is this just a blip or the beginning of a long-term problem? Coming later this week will be PCE and updated Q3 GDP. There will also be a number of heavyweights coming in with Q4 reports in the next few days. Per the CBOE, trading was brisk at 20.6 billion, considerably above the 16.8 average.
