Stocks advanced today, rebounding from the S&P 500’s biggest drop since November 2011, after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the central bank may phase out its stimulus. “To me this is just a normal correction reacting to some unexpected news,” Laszlo Birinyi, president of Birinyi Associates Inc., said. “I still think you’re in a bull market.”

Not to Fret, Stock Market Turbulence Won’t Last Says Baron (CNBC)

Billionaire Ron Baron, chairman and CEO of Baron Capitol, has advice for investors who might be apprehensive about the recent stock market gyrations and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s taper comments: “don’t worry.” Baron wrote in an email to CNBC’s Becky Quick that he doesn’t “think turbulence will last.” Specifically, he blamed computer trading and persistent fear among traders who “remember [the U.S.] almost had [a] Depression five years ago.” Baron also added that America “narrowly escaped” an economic catastrophe due to Bernanke’s efforts during the 2008 financial crisis.
