As I write this the market is still having a solidly negative trading day again.
The market has been swiftly return some of its high gains and some well known names have led the charge.
I have encouraged you all to invest in a stable layer of baby bonds, preferreds and bonds. Consider how many of them have reacted to the recent trading environment:
