Q: Given the churning FED wordage and today's market reaction what are your thoughts on a September or October mini market correction? I'm looking for a decent entry point as I have a few nice picks researched and lined up. I currently am sitting on 35% cash position (mixed USD & CDN 60/40) awaiting opportunity of a market correction.

Cheers!

Q: My first reaction to the Brexit news was to buy the SP500 dip this morning, but now I recall that in 2011, the market fell 17% over two weeks. This was triggered by the debt ceiling fears. With Britain leaving the European union and possibly more countries following, it seems that this event is FAR MORE important than the debt ceiling, so a 15% correction seems very probable. Usually, when an investor has cash, it's better not to wait for a pullback, but now we do an have an "event" on our hands. The media will surely go on a fear mongering campaign. Would you recommend waiting a week to start buying, or, giving it a few more weeks?
