Now granted, in a raging bull market that seems to be putting in new all-time highs day after day, after day, yeah,

I’m not sure how ‘click-baity’ that title was, but it felt good when I wrote it, so I just went with it.  But geeze-louise, this market has completely lost track of what a sell-off is – to be honest, my memory is a bit foggy on the subject matter as well.  But that doesn’t mean
