Sure starting to seem like it. It's been a total blood bath lately for tech stocks in particular.

It's a bloody day, especially for tech, but it will come back around.

It's related to the 10 year Treasury bond yields.
As T-bill yields increase, people see equities as less appealing investments because of the higher risks. They like the safer investment, so investment moves out of equities. |

Good, my quarterly funds transfer just went through to my brokerage. S&p500 down 1.xxx% so far. Mmm mmm.

It's October. Happens every year. People are cashing in their gains.

I’m about to panic buy silver. It is going to be $100 an ounce one day... mark my words.
|

Earnings won't be increasing as much as last quarter. But companies are still profitable, and there is still a lot of cash on the sidelines.

Weird thing is, every 10-20 year old on the planet has it loaded on their phone. They have to make $$$ sooner or later I would think. I spend a lot of time in schools, EVERY kid uses it daily.

Wait for the FOMC to raise interest rate by .25% in Dec. they are taking away the punchbowl and with it, liquidity. It’s global too.

Dang, I'm only up 178% on my Boeing stock now instead of 181%. Whatever will I do!?
|
|
just a minor correction to shear some sheep, then it'll be green and the next leg up in a few days.
2% isnt a crash anymore. 10-20% maybe...anything else in between is just theater. |
|
Maybe since all the tech hardware is made in China and we are in trade dispute territory and they put spy tech and possibly kill switches in the products?

Volume's been low though, which is a good sign that the institutions aren't panic selling.
We saw similar pullbacks in early February and late March. The stock market isn't for the skittish. |

I could use a good crash.
Unfortunately it wouldn't bode well for Trump's re-election, so I'd rather just see some small corrections for a couple more years. |
|
According to gym007 it should crash on Monday. Don't ask him which Monday though.

View Quote There was the 1981/1982 recession that lasted 16 months and Reagan won 525 electoral votes in 1984. Since 1979, the stock market has only had 1 run where it was negative for more than a year. That was 2000-2002. A correction's timing would be ideal right now. The stock market usually comes back from its low inside of 2 years. I think the big exception to that was post-2008 Obama. The market wasn't at pre-correction levels until 2012. |

Obviously due to my just buying into an S&P index fund. Time for the tanking!
|
|
Was just thinking about moving a major chunk of my 401K from a poor performing investment to a index fund. Now I'm just watching before I jump.

Don't focus on the here and now. Look at the growth over the last two years. It is not crashing. Tech is always risky

As an official old fart, I have seen a drop of a bit over 500 points when the market was at 1,500 so this is not a big deal. Merely a correction.

Looks about right. You're selling if we break below 7000 and then buying back in at "FO TIME" if we do? View Quote Who has sold and who has bought from them? COMPQ 4250 is a place where the buyers overwhelmed the sellers and provided a foundation for the run to 8k. These prices reflect levels where buyers have shown up to move the market higher, but those events do not mean that sellers will not overwhelm buyers the next time. Zoom out to the macro level and what are the markers for this casino? USD How are these markers created? Credit Expansion The only reason the market casino has trended higher for the past 80 years is because we started at cash, unlevered price levels across the entire economy after WW2. If the credit expansion is not supported in aggregate - privately and/or publicly - we get deflation. Deflation is falling prices, contract defaults and debt destruction. We had an unprecedented bailout in 2008 that was opposed by the general public, so the odds are very high that the next deflation cycle will not be rescued with a trillion dollar annual deficit-spending policy. Debits = Credits |

Dude, it not even off 3%. Like others have said profit taking and the bond yield.

Son of a *itch NASDAQ down over 3.5%
Son of a *itch DOW down over 2.5% We are all going to be poor |
|
Small correction. Economy is still running good. No reason it won't bounce back during 4th quarter. Hang tight.
