Three Concerns: All seem real and leading back to jobs, again

Three drivers of yesterday’s big sell off seem to be:

1) European Central Bank refunding operations (tender) for banks, i.e. how much demand from banks and can the ECB provide the liquidity needed?
2) Concern that Chinese growth is slowing based upon a Conference Board leading indicator number
3) Sharp decline in US consumer confidence
