I doubt that it will go down 20-30% just like that. It has to have very good reason. But brace for more turbulence tomorrow, judging from the Asia markets after hours.
Ok, how about this: "People all over the world, join hands, start a love train, love train, ride, let it ride, let it ride, Let it ride..."
Grab your ticket and your suitcase, thunder's rolling down this track
Well, you don't know where you're going now, but you know you won't be back
I thought the market was based on earnings, dividends and greed(P/E). This is the BCG layman terms definition. I know they are other things i learned in here options etc. So how did we get a 250 point swing between yesterday and today? Was this the the greed/fear factor? This the buy on the rumor sell on the news? Robo, trigger trading? Active managers? (BTW I love you active guys. we need more people investing in them as i fear everyone will index with me and we go bust. Thanks in advance for all answers.
Do the math. That's about once every 11 years. ... and 2007/8 was how many years ago?Given that a 20%+ market decline has only happened 8 times since 1926 ...
Yes, but the reason is usually identifiable only in the rear view mirror. And sometimes the reason is not clear even then. Further, if the reason could be foreseen the event could be predicted, which is never the case.I doubt that it will go down 20-30% just like that. It has to have very good reason. ...
No, certainly not black swans.
More like the run-of-the-mill swans I recently saw on Lake Geneva, or Lac Léman as the French like to call it.
Do not recall seeing any the previous time I was in Geneva, but this time they were a dime a dozen. Maybe in the same manner, 20% market declines will be more frequent now?
