The SP500 was down 1.2% for the week, and the headlines are blaming "subprime woes." On thursday, the market hit all-time highs. Were subprimes not a concern on Thursday? This always seems a bit silly to me. We're always searching for a news blurb to explain what has happened in retrospect. How about "Market rallies to new highs, investors book profits after Google's and Cat's earnings misses and go camping for the weekend.
Me? Broken record. I think we're going to have a summer correction this year, and I'm positioned accordingly.

Calgirlfinance wonders if she and her husband should ratchet down their 401(k) savings in order to buy a house. Go leave her your thoughts. My thoughts are yes, save and get the house. Life is not a dress rehearsal and you have to live your life along the way. Of course, I wouldn't buy "the biggest house you can afford" and struggle financially. Buy what you can afford that leaves some extra cash each month so that you can save and do other things.
