The US is the caboose on the train of worldwide growth, Cramer said Wednesday, but guess what? It doesn’t matter. The train is moving nonetheless, pulling everyone along with it, and that means stocks can be bought. The evidence is clear: Investors, analysts, the Street as a whole – no one expects the US to drive company earnings. Whether it was Intel , Novellus , Yum! Brands , CSX , Boeing , Cummins or even Banco Santander , the questions about the source of their profits inevitably focused on business overseas. Was it China? South Korea? Brazil? The rest of Latin America? And the answers were yes, yes, yes and yes.

“I am not saying we are irrelevant. We still matter,” Cramer said. “I am saying that now we are the world’s drag … the caboose.”

The Federal Reserve confirmed as much today when we got its meeting minutes, which said it sees subpar growth for the US for years versus other countries. But, in spite of our obsession with housing data, retail data and employment data, American businesses still will get pulled along the rest of the world. Companies here must meet demand over there. That’s why Cramer thinks that, by the fourth quarter, we will see some job creation in the US. And retail investors will finally regain the confidence needed to start buying stocks again.

Cramer doesn’t want his viewers to wait that long, though. So tonight he begged them to catch this train and get in before the big move. Because if they miss it, he said, “I’ll feel sorry for you.”

Yes, I make money.

Market did not crash.

DOW 261 point drop is because:

1. DOW has 7 straight days for up run, it is overdue for a fall. This fall is much needed and good for the market.

2. AoB and JP Morgan results are not as good as most analysts think and US Market is worry about their financial sector performance in the near future.

All these are pretty much contain in US.

This is not to say that STI would not react to this drop, I think it would, just that I don't think its a crash.

I've not brought US stocks for a long time and I don't think I would buy them in the short term too.

My focus is still in Asia.

Good luck to all.

If you ask me, I give more weightage to the psychology of the market participants, than the valuation of the market. Why?

Everyone has different valuations - some say cheap currently, some say expensive currently. That is why, there is always a bull for every bear. Trend itself, is merely a manifestation of the net effect of collective belief on valuations at a specific time interval of all the bears and bulls, which drives them to behave in certain ways (shouting chiong ah, whack big big, become diehard stock supporter etc). It can be either uptrend or downtrend depending which side is collectively stronger.

But, when it comes to market psychology, NOTHING has changed ever since humans appeared on earth. Humans are emotional. And emotion is a strong driving factor in  market behaviour. The patterns never change. Even a typical bull (i refer to non-professional players) with diehard belief in good valuation of his stock, eventually gives in to his emotions when enough stress is applied.

To be contrarian, one needs to have very focused rationality and see things objectively without emotion. Evaluate, but don't judge.

Oh. Ktnp2005 and you are both contrarian investors.

Ok, I know what you guys are saying.

In the long term, the market is moving down.

In the mid term, the market moves both up and down.

In the short term, the market is moving up, although we are already near the top of the bull run.

As an investor, yes, I agree with you that investors should get out of the market, wait for the lows and Buy then.

As a trader, no, a trader makes money in both up and down market, we'll make even more money if there is a crash.

Good luck to all.

Why do you think STI upside is hard and the fall will be spectacular?

I would like very much to hear your views.
