Signs of crash is slowly showing.......with the falling dollar and higher inflation, etc.. ...........And the great sub-prime bubble.........FED saw these signals that's why they came out to smoothen the mkt with a .75 rate cut. How many times can they cut? The First cut, we see market rally, while the rest of the cuts we only see a the whole market wanting more and more, to the extent that FED had to cut 75 basis point this round with a negative reaction.......everytime they cut , the market expect more...........juz like a child begging candy from Daddy.........
I affirm that we are headed to a hard landing soon............sigh
While the above are my thoughts, I would hope that the market don't crash..........but juz to be sure, i'm at the side line now...........
US stock market is now high on drugs and it needs to get its regular fixes or it go bonker. Where do you think it go get its fixes? Of course the FEDS. Bermonki this week gave the US stock market 75ml of pure heroin and the market respond positively. Of course after the 75ml dose, the market needs more drug infusion and Bermonki has 350ml of the stuff left. When the 350ml are all used up and the economy does not improve, what's next? Ask the US Govt to print more money for consumers to spend.
Just a thought - Is that the correct way to build a strong economy? I don't think the Singapore Govt work that way? Sigh....
Yep. It may be the last radiance of the setting sun.
Be ready to run!
Everyone in stocks - enjoy the up ride while it last
When rates are 2 % or less - be careful
Thats when the final capter will be written like the last crash
US stocks rise on earnings, economy news
New York (dpa) - Wall Street stocks booked strong gains for a second straight session Thursday amid a backdrop of seemingly positive economic news, after the global selloff that grips markets earlier in the week.
Word emerged Thursday of a quick agreement in the US Congress on a 150-billion-dollar economic stimulus package, meant to stem fears of a looming recession.
Xerox Corp and Lockheed Martin Corp both reported profits that beat Wall Street expectations. Meanwhile, commodity producers saw share prices rise after China reported economic growth in excess of 11 per cent annualized for a fourth straight quarter.
"The earnings that have been reported for the fourth quarter have been better than expected, outside of the financial companies," Tom Wirth, senior investment officer at Chemung Canal Trust Co, told the Bloomberg financial news agency. "Our economy, though it's slowed, is still in a growth trajectory. We don't expect a recession."
The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 109.44 points, or 0.88 per cent, to 12,378.61. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 13.47 points, or 1.01 per cent, to 1,352.07. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index soared 44.51 points, or 1.92 per cent, to 2,360.92.
The US currency fell against the euro to 67.753 euro cents from 68.32 euro cents on Wednesday. The dollar was stronger agains the Japanese currency at 107.15 yen from 106.77 yen on Wednesday.
Gold leapt 30.30 dollars to 913.40 dollars per fine ounce.
Sorry, last point to note :
This crash will be more severe than the 1987 one.
Scenario is given by Morgan Stanley :
Some banks will crash in the end in US when money from stock mkt runs out
and these banks need to be bailed out by the govt
The scenario for the future is this :
DOW will come down and FED will cut rates to push it back
When back to normal banks again sell through hedge funds
The banks are the culprits as they cash out by using the stock mkts for funds
The people holding shares are the actual one providing the funds for the culprit banks
DOW will be down until FED cuts rates to near 1%
Then DOW will crash as there will be no more money from the markets to fund the bank's selling
I have been through the previous crash =>> when Alan Greenspan cut rates to 1 % before
realise that gold and oil did not rise to record high thou interest cut? ponder over it...
also take a look at s&p 10 years chart. cup and handle or triple top? ponder over it...
i am expecting the Govts funds to do more buying like temasek did as USD continue its decline against other currency.
de cut of 0.75 is to prevent global panic.. wat cyjjerry mentioned abt isn't a need to cut the rates further is referring to next week when they meet up. any cut.. will b reviewed periodically.. once market back to norm.. rates will increase to counter any inflation and others concern.
Is the federal cut of interest rate a short-term, long-term or permanent solution to the current volatile market and probable USA/world recession?
yes indeed it is a good sign now...but it will be very idiotic if Fed suddenly see there isn't a need to cut the rates further ...den we will sianz by half already....hope they cut...cut and cut....and we will den go up up and up
