Europe FTSE  down 20%
Europe DAX    down 31%
Japan down 22%
China down 35% **************  !!!!!!  That's HUGE!! (from 25,000 to 16,250!)
US DOW down 18%
US S&P  down  21%
 
And I just can't find any reason to be optimistic......even dividend-paying choices are down more than I'd like them to be...  It's getting to be like 2008....NO PLACE TO HIDE.....and now....NO PLACE TO GET ANY KIND OF A DECENT YIELD, with any level of "expected" principal stability.  Deja vu all over again.........  UGH!!
 
My hope is in GOD's NEXT MOVE..........soon, I hope...!
