International US stock market crash

Why is no one mentioning this?

Due to uncertainty in world events over the last year, and lackluster in the Australian market, I pulled all my shares (took my profits) and invested back into real estate - so I'm safe - and acknowledge I could've made more profit over the last 12 months, but the turbulence was enough to scare me off.

Is this plunge because the overshoot economic era has run it's course (usually extends a year past the change of presidency) or because of the inability of the current government to make any real reform?

Is it simply a correction or burst bubble with ongoing panic?

Why the stock market plunged today

 

I see it as an opportunity!
I don't see real estate as "safe" either.
I think volatility is a fact of life now.

 

Who knows .

My take is that the more perceived volatility in shares , more people will invest in property .

In the post , I've often seen a turn in one market , trigger a run in the other .

It's a doozy.. Few more days to come though I think before it calms down. No real surprise, everything was quite over-valued in the US. The rout always pulls down the ASX heavier, and it takes longer to recover, but recover it always does.

I'll be going hard in soon, but will wait for confirmation of a proper turnaround, and set stops carefully. Easy pickings for several % gain in 6-12months. This is where you make money.

 

yeah this has awakened me from my equities slumber. I get quite excited in these situations

 

What crash?

 

No idea? lets see how this all pans out.

Didn't someone on PC just throw $1M at shares, cost averaging exercise..... ???? So if markets are at peak would this make sense? I think I know the answer....

 

Pretty sure this is being talked about all over the forum?

 

Is this the start of the crash?

 

There it is! Swear I looked in the "other classes" - must be going senile

 

Shares back up today

Should of bought yesterday like I did.... should of bought yesterday like I did ...

 

No idea, lets see what happens over the coming months.

 

The stock market is a scam
New world order
It was never going to be a good currency because it’s deflationary
It’s too volatile to be a good investment

There are scammers behind all this

Lol
Sound familiar???

It is what it is.
Breathe

 

I heard the Illuminati teamed up with the FBI to engineer this mini-crash.

 

It does sound familiar actually Xenia ...probaly the same ones running the bloody Private Health insurance are behind the Stock market too ... I wouldnt doubt it !

Anyway im glad my Shares returned to normal today, I was $34,000 in the Red yesterday after my Shares hit the Wall !

Thought i would have to head down to the Wall myself if shares continued to plummet ! ( oh only a Sydneysider would understand my comment which is good )

 

Didnt catch your thread yesterday, but the dip was likely a sudden knee jerk reaction with fears over how high the interest rates were going to go this year. US FED also had a new FED chair take up his post and he might be hawkish. Its thought that if the 10yr yield goes past 3% it would hit the US economy badly as wage growth only started picking up in 2017 almost 10 years after the GFC.

In the background, US FED has been reducing their balance sheet over the new year(means reversing the quantitative easing stimulus) so a tightening of credit and liquidity. this usually is bad for stock markets where most of the excess liquidity from QE1,2,3 supposedly has gone.

Otherwise there has been no black swan event happening, except for maybe the big crash in cryptocurrency prices which has wiped out billions. Maybe people selling their stocks in order to buy MORE bitcoin?
