" Market analysis tonight Jim Lowell is chief investment strategist at adviser investments and editor of fidelity investor dot com evening Jim good -- our -- well so much for GDP euphoria that disappeared faster than a piece of unopened can -- dial in no doubt about it it was a two and a half percent to a reality check on most of the major indexes today 250 points on the Dow and the argument is that this really had been long overdue."
" It has been -- this is a market that's way ahead of the fundamentals. Not just domestically but globally so. So expectations for ten to 15% pullback are pretty much baked into the next.

Maybe the chief moment will come Wednesday when the Fed -- things they start their -- I regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday but we get a raft of data from car sales. The factory orders to manufacturing data and we also get. Mid week ADP's precursor to Friday's key jobs numbers are really is going to be a -- keys off of economic data as opposed to earnings data. It's going to be a very volatile week."
