Sooner or later, or perhaps later or sooner.

Tincture of time.

Hmm, I wonder why that data is so way off. I better get a better service.
 
I'm thinking about buying shares in the class action companies... Surely there's going to be a a few billion dollars being spent by trading industry for failing to have adequate resources to allow people to sell shares on Monday? All my trading apps were buggered or slow at some point. I didn't want to buy or sell so I'm not fussed. But if I did.... I'd be foaming at the mouth.

Another thought is how many predatory capital raisings are we going to see this month to strengthen the balance sheet? I'm looking at the lithium miners - min, pls, ltr... Who all hemorrhage money and probably will struggle to wait out a longer price recovery. With the fall of the peso will foreign investors be pushing it more? Cheap investments if you're a yank right now.

I bet IGO wished they had cut off dividend payments a period or two earlier... they would have been in a great position to make some deals if they had a few hundred million more in the bank right now. But greedy moms and dads need their low yield dividends.
 
I reckon the market is fairly priced. I'm in neutral stance now.
Equal upside and downside.

UK and Europe are trying for a deal and maybe they can make one.
Many commentators including some of his billionaire supporters are begging Trump to delay tariffs and go for a deal, though he may ignore them and double up.

Also Australia will have falling interest rates.

Dialed back a bit ... SPI futures pointing to a 55 point rise.

But it's volatility that is king.

DJIA closing down 349 points— At its worst point, the Dow had plunged more than 1,700 points before staging a brief intraday rebound, only to retreat once again. In total, it recorded a 2,595-point swing—its largest intraday reversal on record.
Trading volume reached a staggering 29 billion shares—its highest level in at least 18 years. Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index surged as high as 60, an extreme level typically reserved for bear market territory. Analysts warned that forced selling by hedge funds trying to meet margin calls could further amplify the declines.

This is a pretty decent dead cat.

I understood the dead cat bounce was due to the market reacting to a false rumour that Trump was considering a 90 day pause for the tariff .

All three indexes started the day sharply lower, and the Dow plunged as many as 1700 points. But it suddenly surged to a gain of nearly 900 points in the late morning. The S&P 500, meanwhile, went from a loss of 4.7 per cent to a leap of 3.4 per cent, which would have been its biggest jump in years.

The sudden rise followed a false rumour that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on his tariffs, one that a White House account on X quickly labelled as “fake news.” That a rumour could move trillions of dollars’ worth of investments shows how much investors are hoping to see signs that Trump may let up on tariffs. Stocks quickly turned back down, and shortly afterward, Trump dug in further, saying he may raise tariffs more against China.

Pretty much everything went up today, for a change! And it was much of the stuff that’s been hit the hardest in this downturn. You know – all the really cheap stuff now. "Cheap" of course is in the eye of the beholder...and beaten down Energy, Technology and Resources stocks were most beheld...

Though i sold the few remaining shares that I held prior to my operations, I was a more than interested watcher of the markets and the blood bath that occurred on Friday and yesterday.
I just wonder how long The Muskrat will tolerate losing billions because of The Trumpets policies.
Will there be a parting of the way in the near future.
 

Are we talking about the same market ? The information I quoted was with regard to the huge turnaround on the New York market which was directly caused by initial market relief that Trump was considering a 90 day pause on applying the tariff and then extreme reaction when this called out as fake news.

I pasted the observation directly from the SMH and left a link.

The Australian market had its own ups and downs - as you say a reaction to oversold stocks.
 
Dead bounce cat it was, US markets really tried hard but slowly failed.
Gold up, oil now below critical 60

Lets see what this morning oracles will see coming!

Back to selling, back to pain for investors who intend to faithfully hold through the turmoil. And that turmoil appears to be growing, not shrinking as the trade war sabre-rattling continues on both sides of the Pacific. There were heavy falls in Energy and Resources stocks again, but...
