Is this slide more than a correction?

When I wrote last week, I sold off and had a sneaky suspicion that all is not well on the stockmarket.
I wondered later if I had sold off when I shouldn't.

I even lost money and had to sell some good stocks, but after that the Aussie  market fell by 12% and things do not look good.

After all, these stockmarket crashes happen every 7 or even 11 years, so maybe we are facing another 2008/9 crash.

I'm feeling very uneasy about the situation., but FAR seems to be weathering the storm and is in another trading halt. 
ASX:VIC rose today by 20%.  They are into rare earths and other minerals. 
Quite close to the Lynas site in W.A  worth watching. and only 0.006 cents but  only a very small cap.

take the money and run?

Once upon a time- a long time ago, I worked for a company that tried to earn some extra money by  moving  their excess cash around before paying their bills.  
So, the thought occured to me, that maybe some companies, try to shore up their share price by buying a large number of their own shares, you know,  to stop  day traders from mucking up the share price.. 

I don't know if that actually happens, but with so much volatility in the market, and having worked as an external auditor of systems, I  sort of get that feeling...
I didn't want to, but I sold off some stuff today. 

you know that feeling of reluctance. It's so hard to call it quits and give up on what you thought might prove a winner... 
I owned some  Sirrius once (ASX:SIR) and sold off too early... 
and now I regret it.

But maybe it's better to take your money and run, and live to invest another day...

Who knows?

We havent posted for a while but FAR Limited is...

 Far Limited  ASX:FAR is an oil  company with interests in Africa. you can read about them on www.asx.com.au, and see their increase in share price since August 2014.  Yes  over he past 6- 8 weeks, they have risen from about  3 cents  to 10 cents, while the asx has lost about 90 billion  in that time. So I suggest you go there and read their announcements. In a trading halt today.
