A correction is heathly? I have also been waiting for a top has it happened?
They say a 10% correction to markets is healthy this may happen in two or three days!!!
Bean their sharemarket and economy do not have anything to really do with each other its not a gage of health like ours is.
now looking at their chart, SSE 180 INDEX looks like they are starting another correction nothing to really worry about yet.
but we all know how avalanches start!
the main thing that interests me on this selling is it reminds me of the expanding pattern the dow made a while back before it banded to set up fall if i remember correctly but I am not saying that that will happen here.
good trading

Um lets' see, how about the fact that every other day a mortgage originator goes bust or a hedge fund announces they have serious trouble.
This all has a striking similarity to a junkie getting a 'fix', only the short term gain still won't alleviate the long term pain brought about due to the housing bust. What the US Fed has actually said by caving in to the debt junkies is that the US is probably already in recession or so close as to be borderline. Helicopter Ben is showing his weak hand approach to solving this problem by throwing money from the virtual helicopter.
So what happens the day after all this has time to sink in and cooler heads have had time to digest the ramifications of all this? Time to take some profits maybe? Not looking forward to tomorrows market action.

It's 'cause everybody is looking at the chart upside-down.Well, with all this talk of corrections, collapse, apocalypse, end of the world, 100 year bear markets etc........and then the Dow goes up 335? I'm surprised to say the least.
If thats a bad day I wouldn't mind seeing it it on a good day.
!!!!!!!!!

God bless America.When the Americans do something they don't do it in halves.There was a severe market correction overnight and in the opposite direction to what this thread was referring to.Such an uptrend from 2.15pm to the close of market is probably unparalleled in the Dow.Was this a knee jerk reaction?Will the Dow continue to climb to the 14000 mark that some writers in this forum have been predicting?Will the market subside in the next weeks?
Thoughts please.
Sassa obsessing over the day to day fluctuations in the Dow or any other index for that matter doesn't tell you anything. At best it is short term noise. Apart from the psychological effect what has the Fed's rate cuts accomplished?
You may not have seen amidst the euphoria of helicopter Ben's antics that housing foreclosures approached a quarter of a million in August up 115% on the previous year and 36% on the previous month. Also consider that August numbers are before the first wave of ARM resets.
Also slipping under the radar was builders sentiment now at it's lowest point ever since it was first measured back in 1985.
Just out 10 minutes ago, Housing starts down 2.6%, building permits down 5.9%, both are at their lowest levels since June 1995.
The USD hit a 15 year low yesterday against a basket of the most commonly traded currencies, does this help the US consumer? Retails sales are already struggling, now consumers are facing higher gas prices as oil punches through $82 a barrel. Employment looks shaky, corporate profits are peaking. Out today, Morgan Stanley's 3Q07 profit was off 17%.
In short all the fundamentals pointing to a significantly weaker US economy going forward are still in place. Fed rate cuts did not change any of that, as if they could.
But all this information, available to the premarket, has not had any deterrance whatsoever.The futures have increased from 44 to 60 since this became known and one trader on CNBC predicted the breaking of the 14000 today.Also,the European markets continue to gather strength.If all the fundamentals of a weaker U.S.going forward are in place,why aren't the markets reflecting this with either caution or a downward trend?
