Just how bad is the market going to get? Depends on who you ask.

And the view can vary — at least temporarily — depending on when you look. As Dan Egan, Betterment's head of behavioral finance, pointed out in a tweet, sometimes the market's direction makes wild swings and even the headlines on real-time financial news sites can't keep up.

Meanwhile, Josh Brown's world is looking a little apocalyptic, Wu-Tang Financial makes a presidential endorsement, and small children ask Federal Reserve Board Janet Yellen not to raise rates.
