'Choppy waters' as stock market slumps - NBCNews.com (blog)

>>> good evening, this was the worst day of the year on wall street , and unlike other dips and dives in the stock market , the reason for what happened today was pretty clear. it was the nation's top money man, the chair of the federal reserve , who just yesterday gave a mostly positive review of the economy. but also in there was a warning that cheap borrowing may be coming to an end. that was the back drop and today the people who buy and sell stocks for a living, chose to sell, and the numbers went down. in a moment, we'll talk about how homeowners are watching this closely. let's go to where the damage was done, maria bartiromo on wall street in new york.

>> reporter: hi, brian. good evening to you. at this point, everybody has gone home at the new york symptom stock exchange . today's 350-point sell-off comes after yesterday's 200 huf point sell-off, as the federal reserve suggested winding down of the stimulus will begin at the end this year. why is that such a bad thing? once the stimulus goes away, interest rates begin to creep up, take money out of stock market and into fixed income, into bonds. while i keep my money into the stock market which is riskier, and the bond market is a bit safer. that is the thinking. i don't think interest rates will skyrocket out of control and we're down about 5%. 4.8% from the all-time highs in the market, reached in may. every time we've seen a sell-off of 5%, a lot of people expecting a correction of 5%. each time we've seen that, that selling has been met by buyers, the so-called buy on the dip mentality. i suspect we'll see a buy on the dip mentally once again, unclear if that happens tomorrow or later. looks like we'll be into choppy waters the next couple of weeks, brian.

Orthaheel Womens Gemma Slippers in Tan Leopard Size 10 Shopper Reviews

I was looking for a shoe with arch support and BOY did I get one! This shoe had so much arch to it that it turned my entire foot in a very uncomfortable position and slid my heel off of the foot heel was literally hanging off the side of the I thought perhaps it would just take me a few days to get used to them but it was physically painful to wear them for even 10 minutes at a Suffice it to say, I sent them I ordered a pair of hipthong sandals from Chaco and they worked much Just in case you are wondering, I wear a women's size 8 I have a medium arch and can wear both B and C width women's If your foot is similar in size and proportion, you may have the same problem with this shoe that I Check out shoes by Chaco or Merrell if you decide to try these and they don't Hope this helps!

I got these for my mother (75 yrs old) so that she could have flip flops for summer rather than orthopedic shoes that They worked so well for her that we are having a hard time getting her to wear other I got myself a pair and I now understand why she won't take them If you have problems with your feet or knees, these offer incredible support and correction, along with I can walk for miles in If only they came with beading or rhinestones!

I wear clogs all winter, and orthotic insoles would slide out of I decided to try the orthotic mules, and am quite pleased with When first put on, they felt very hard under foot, and the arch support felt like a giant However, as the shoes warm to your feet and have more "give," they provide excellent support and The toe box is quite wide, which accommodates winter socks, as well as (alas) The style is more attractive than some "corrective" shoes; the brown is a cool, dark taupe--not warm chocolate Looks good with I would prefer leather uppers, but this material seems pretty substantial and is nice For the price, this is a very good item, and I will probably buy another

I've had plantar fasciitis on my left heel for so long and a couple of trips to my podiatrist (along with 2 painful hydrocortisone injections on my left heel) did NOT solve the pain UNTIL I finally bought these slippers!! I read the reviews from a foot specialty website but decided to purchase from Amazon because my Prime shipping would let me have the slippers I felt the difference in the slippers' support as soon as I put them on and my feet have been thanking me ever since!! I wish I would've found out about the Orthaheel footwear long time ago so I didn't have to waste my money going to the podiatrist and paying for the products that did nothing for my foot!! I'm planning to purchase Orthaheel sandals for the summer!

I think the Orthaheel Tide flip flops are worth every penny!

They took me about a day or two to get used to (I am already accustomed to wearing supportive insoles) and now my feet complain if I wear anything but! My knees don't bother me as much as they used to, These shoes have been a life saver!One thing that you should be advised that I have noticed, is that not all of the arches are exactly the Even between my sandals, I have found that some are more comfortable than I even bought one pair of sandals that I returned, because I could feel a difference in the arch between the right and the left foot! But, overall, I am very happy with all of my Orthaheel purchases, and the relief that I have experienced far outweighs the little nuances between
