		10-20% is a correction, not a crash. 
Crash is 2008-2009. Large MNCs Blue chip down by 90%.
Are we in for a crash? very unlikely.
But emerging mkts quite highly valued(they gained the most during the recovery as well)
Nothing unusual going on, just Mr market doing his thing.

		not sure "value stocks" frequently highlighted here are down sufficiently to have enough margin of safety to accumulate now, if using "sub-prime" crisis prices as rough gauge? means there is still vulnerability in prices? any ideas?

		yes, agree with bibi.
for blue chips to half its value already means catastrophic damage. 
i dun see the possibility of the average blue chip dropping 90%. cos that would mean sti drop till 300points left? how is that possible?

		I still remember the index going down from 3800 to 1600, but i was still bery new to investing. I think this time unlikely to crash as much as the index came off from a lower 3450 level.
