Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have been successful for us as of late, but it appears that a pause may be around the corner.

One of the biggest mistakes investors can make is to project their own personal situation to the market or stocks in general. If times are tough the assumption is that times are tough everywhere and stocks will likely falter. All sorts of emotions including envy and jealousy can come out of the woodwork when things aren't going well personally.

"Thursday was the kind of day that makes investors leave the market for a long time, maybe forever," cautions Jack Adamo.

The editor of Insiders Plus argues, "The early plunge was blamed on a computer glitch. I think that's a lot of ___ . (You can supply the noun, depending on your own sensibilities and how disgusted you are.)

Better than expected earnings and/or guidance by the major banks and/or other major companies this week could send the S&P 500 flying past its 200 day moving average triggering a wave of long purchases and short covering (note that short interest has been rising sharply in the past few days).

On the other hand, disappointment from any of the major financials such as Goldman Sachs(NYSE:GS), JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM) or Citigroup(NYSE:C) and/or major companies reporting this week such as Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)or Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)could send the market reeling into a quick 10% correction.
