Oil rebounded and so did stocks. My call is that we rebound for the rest of the week and then panic sell again next week. View Quote Attached File |

Of course it did.
There is ZERO reason for a big crash. It was profit taking before the year end and then all of the sudden they were on sale. |

Quoted: The market is oversold considering the underlying fundamentals and although I'm not certain through exactly which mechanism, I believe we've recent experienced market manipulation to the downside for political purposes by the globalists. View Quote |

S&P will hit 2500 and go sideways for a time and then pop over making people think the bounce is in. Then once the dumb money starts buying the smart will sell into the buying and pull the rug out.
Interesting observation: if you look at the S&P daily back in 2008 just before the crash and you compare it to the current trends you will find that they are almost identical. |

I'm still down $3,500
I'm not even going to look at my 401k. I don't want to know. |

If you will need the money in near future maybe pull money out.
I expect market will continue to tank for awhile. In any event pulling money out locks in losses. |

My portfolio is still down $30k since October. Everyone keeps saying profit taking, and that it’ll bounce back.
It hasn’t. One day up doesn’t make up for four days of massive losses, repeatedly. |

How’s the brave new HFT world going to handle this? Last time was 2012 but the Fed did operation twist around there yes?

Only when the fed balance sheet goes to zero can we START to say the stock market isn’t manipulated.
If we want to get serious about free financial valuation markets, we would need at least 5% interest rates. It’s never been this manipulated in our entire history |

Rumor has it there will be historic pension fund rebalance activity Monday that’s driving a lot of this insanity.
Quarterly rebalance to maintain debt/equity ratios. Monday could get weird. |

He's right. The market is/was manipulated. For the longest time, the VIX was at historical lows, because the FED was basically short the VIX.
Powell in 2012 FOMC meeting “So when it is time for us to sell, or even to stop buying, the response could be quite strong; there is every reason to expect a strong response. So there are a couple of ways to look at it. It is about $1.2 trillion in sales; you take 60 months, you get about $20 billion a month. That is a very doable thing, it sounds like, in a market where the norm by the middle of next year is $80 billion a month. Another way to look at it, though, is that it’s not so much the sale, the duration; it’s also unloading our short volatility position. When you turn and say to the market, ‘I’ve got $1.2 trillion of these things,’ it’s not just $20 billion a month — it’s the sight of the whole thing coming. And I think there is a pretty good chance that you could have quite a dynamic response in the market.” |

Construction markets are up quite a bit in 4/5 of the major markets we work in, and are projected to be strong through 2020.
Help wanted signs everywhere, everyone I know seems to be making good money and being good consumers. I'm on the side that thinks manipulating the interest rates, and a down market is bullshit. |

God how I hate feeding that miserable performing International equity fund. As far as average unit cost, if the equity portion is way down, you wouldnt be selling any of those, you’d be selling the funds that were up or “down less” to boost up the funds that were down most. In a debt/equity split of the the equity markets are down you’d be selling the bonds to bring up the holdings in equities. |
