Scary headlines freak out investors:

"Market in turmoil" /  "DJIA down for the year after 274-point rout  /  "Markets dive as jitters grow" 

Unless  you were taking my course.

On 5/21/12  my students were instructed that a bearish wave is likely to form.  They were given the precise rules and valuable lessons.

On 5/22/12  I showed them how to lay out the 5 points and identify the proper time frame. This wave was going to be big!

On 5/24/12  price had 4 of the numbers filled in and we were awaiting a rally that would take price to the 5 point.

On 5/29/12  the price finally reached the 5 point and immediately ran into resistance, where expected and began to fall.

On 5/30/12  we observed a falling market that found some support, where expected.

On 5/31/12  we observed the market again declining but finding some support, where expected.

On 6/1/12  we witnessed an out-of-balance market racing down for the target line. DJIA down 274 for the day.

As of this writing the S&P is down over 60 points since selling off, as expected, in the "sweet zone."

Scary for some, but not the five students that I was teaching.
