\n\"Stock<\/a>We have never had a year start the way that 2016 has started.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 In the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 have both posted their worst four-day starts to a year ever.\u00a0 Canadian stocks are now down 21 percent<\/a> since September, and it has been an absolute bloodbath in Europe over the past four days.\u00a0 Of course the primary catalyst for all of this is what has been going on in China.\u00a0 There has been an emergency suspension of trading in China two times within the past four days<\/a>, and nobody is quite certain what is going to happen next.\u00a0 Eventually this wave of panic selling will settle down, but that won\u2019t mean that this crisis will be over.\u00a0 In fact, what is coming is going to be much worse than what we have already seen.<\/p>\n

On Thursday I was doing a show with some friends, and we were amazed that stocks just seemed to keep falling and falling and falling.\u00a0 The Dow closed down 392 points, and the NASDAQ got absolutely slammed.\u00a0 At this point, the Dow and the NASDAQ are both officially in \u201ccorrection territory\u201d, and some of the talking heads on television are warning that this could be the beginning of a \u201cbear market\u201d.\u00a0 But of course some of the other \u201cexperts\u201d are insisting that this is just a temporary bump in the road.<\/p>\n

But what everyone can agree on is that we have never seen a start to a year like this one.\u00a0 The following comes from CNN<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The global market freakout of 2016 just got worse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The latest scare came on Thursday as China\u2019s stock market crashed 7% overnight and crude oil plummeted to the lowest level in more than 12 years.<\/p>\n

The Dow dropped 392 points on Thursday. The S&P 500 fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq tumbled 3%.<\/p>\n

The wave of selling has knocked the Dow down 911 points<\/strong>, or more than 5% so far this year. That\u2019s the worst four-day percentage loss to start a year on record<\/strong>, according to FactSet stats that go back to 1897.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
