I have commented earlier in the preceding post that some funds managers could be taking profit on stocks which have risen substantially. This profit-taking activity may come & go and if there are sufficient demand for these stocks at lower prices, the selling should not culminate into a reversal of the present bull market. For now, we will have to wait out the on-going correction & try to buy stocks that had dropped back to more attractive prices.
