Unless There Is A Huge War In Korea, How Will China And The United States Explain The Crash Of Their Stock Markets On Monday?

That is why something has to happen in Korea this weekend.
Things have been brewing for a while, remember when the New York stock exchange shut down for 4 hours one day after China melted down the night before?
They said it was a technical glitch, but wall street on parade said it was because several Chinese companies were being traded on the exchange but were under review by the SEC. I think a few of them weren’t even supposed to be traded at all, black listed, and yet their stock was selling.
They shut that story up quick.

Market Meltdown In Progress
This is starting to feel all “2008-ish” again.
I know, I know…these declines have been endlessly rescued by Fed officials and mysterious buying out of nowhere up to now, but this feels bigger and badder than the prior declines.
There’s more volume, and it’s very broad-based, and it’s global.
I guess now we get to find out if the HFT robots really do add the right kind of liquidity or not.
Also, good job on buying up all your equities at the market top (again) corporate America!
Lastly, it looks like oil is making a run for the $30’s here.  Three failed attempts to clear $42 have been rejected and it’s now plummeting and at $40.38

THE EARLY AND OFFICIAL BLACK SUNDAY AND MONDAY DOOM MARKET

Are We Set Up For Another Black Monday?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Monday_(1987)

In financeBlack Monday refers to Monday, October 19, 1987, when stock marketsaround the world crashed, shedding a huge value in a very short time. The crash began in Hong Kong and spread west to Europe, hitting the United States after other markets had already declined by a significant margin. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell exactly 508 points to 1,738.74 (22.61%).[1] In Australia and New Zealand, the 1987 crash is also referred to as “Black Tuesday” because of the time zone difference.
The terms Black Monday and Black Tuesday are also respectively applied to October 28 and October 29, 1929, which occurred after Black Thursday on October 24, which started the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

All we need is some “kinetic military activities” over the weekend and the similarities would be eerie.  I’m tempted to get some gourmet popcorn and stay home from work on Monday while staying glued to my computer monitor.  Either that or order some freeze dried food.

“The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -3.12% suffered its biggest weekly point drop since the worst week of the financial crisis. The Dow tumbled 531.14 points on Friday, and 1,017.85 points, or 5.8%, for the week, amid growing concerns of a slowing global economy. The Dow had tumbled 1,874.19, or 18%, the week ending Oct. 10, 2008, as the collapse of Lehman Bros. rattled global markets. On a percentage basis, this was the blue chip barometer’s worst week since the week ending Sept. 23, 2011, when growing concerns of a double-dip recession in Europe pushed the index down 6.4% on the week. ”

  1. There will be a bounce next week. Most likely on Monday. That is the nature of crowd behavior as shown in technical analysis. The stock market is overbought, the bull market has been going for 7 years. These bear and bull cycles are normal. Not the end of the world. Many people had lost money when gold, silver, corn, and oil collapsed. It wasn’t the end of the world.

  2. When the media talks about “the economy”, they aren’t referring to the place most of us sweat out a meager living. That market died 20 years ago. Instead, they mean the elite club of the one-percenters, who have made record returns on the artificial inflation of the stock market. The problem with such Ponzi schemes, is the suckers eventually wake up to the con and refuse to play anymore. In the case of the American consumer (70% of the real US economy) that means no one can afford to buy anything. No Wal-mart crap made in China, no GMO frankefood from McDonald’s, and no overpriced houses or cars. Half the country lacks the credit rating to borrow for those things, anyway. We have experienced a generation of hyper-leveraged pump and dump “investment” by the .001% that has done nothing but suck the lifeblood out of the entire global market. Nearly 7 billion people have been snookered so a few hundred families can live like emperor Caligula. Look to Venezuela to see what happens when the currency defaults and the government can’t do squat because they’re broke too.

    • Right on the money, or what there used to be of it. The American consumer is toast and that is the one driving force that could have and used to pull the economy and the country up by its boot strings. cutmon in his comment above I don’t believe understands this important aspect of the true state of the us economy. We are done. McPoison and wal-junk are even suffering. that alone should, to an awake person, spell disaster when the gimmethats can’t buy that trash. those .001% are about to experience what we all have come to accept. No, we are all going to have to take a bite of this s— sandwich. pray, prep and protect ’cause hell is beating down the door.

    • not even close to reality because this time it is different. You can believe it is all good and just go on partying like tomorrow (or any day in the near future) will be the same as it was 6.4 years ago, or you can pull your head out of sand, quit drinking the Kool-Aid and with an open mind and eyes see the hell that is unfolding as folks (like you it seems) play golf while the world around them is burning to the ground. I truly pray you get a clue and if you aren’t single and have children, you damn well better grab hold of reality for their sake. You are responsible for them and their safety.
