It's a potent mix and it's taking a toll on the market. Slower growth in what had been the driving forces in the global economy the last few years, coupled with European woes and increased questions about policy in America, continue to pressure the market.

Apple is leading the wide destruction of tech stocks which all belies the "hoopla" over Facebook's IPO. If we are down again today it would be 10 out of 11 sessions, the first time that has happened since July 2002.
