    Predictions for the markets today?

    For those of us already up, what are your predictions before trading starts for the day? More big drops, or will it just sit where it is until there's new events?

    There'll be a big rally today with most banking stocks rebounding to their former highs of about a year ago. Buy now whilst they are undervalued.

      Huge drops. Bottom next wednesday.

        Not today there won't be. Break out the asbestos underwear....

          Which market? Europe/UK opened at 8am and teh FTSE is down about 3%.

          US Dow futures are up over 100 points I suspect they may recover a bit first thing when they open at 2:30pm UK time. However, after that I am not so sure.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              I stuck a sneaky 8k in yesterday around 11am at the first low over the four main banks, but sentiment pushed it down further and landed up 1.4% down at the end of the day.

              Would expect another 2-3% drop today, with Dow Jones down 2-3% later, with a possibility of a minor rally or static tomorrow.

              Very unlikely the US will leave the whole week with out news, I would expect they would have plans back on the table around Wednesday with a market sentiment rally on Thursday.

              I'll look to move another 10k in this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

                I can't believe people are still voluntarily putting money into the stock market. It's like betting on a horse race where all the nags have broken legs.

                  MF is providing a vital service – he is giving people a chance to get out or establish new short positions. You’re a good man MF, keep it up.
