Fed and Powell were too slow to cut. And too light on the touch. Now they will be blamed. They will be aggressive in cutting now.

Between then and now, Dow has lost 2,000 pt.
A big swing in Dow index has always been the precursor of a stock market crash.
Dont believe? Watch this space.

Trade war > rate cut > recession
 
Growing fears of a US recession spark global panic
 
AUGUST 13, 20195:12pm
News.com.au
 
One of the United States&rsquo biggest banks now fears there&rsquo s a one-in-three chance of the country slipping into recession within the next 12 months.
Bank of America issued its revised forecast in a worrying note to clients overnight, saying the uncertainty around the ongoing trade war with China is weighing heavily on world stock markets.
Everyone is entitled to his / her own views/opinions.
For you, you feel that there is a market crash, and so you sold off your entire portfolio. I do not know whether you sold at a loss or huge gains. But that doesn' t matter.
For some, a market crash is good for long term investors to pick up gems in depressed prices. Markets are technically inefficient due to asymmetric information. Insiders are the ones who will make the money no matter which direction the markets go, not retail investors. That' s why the ultra rich will always make. So who are the losers as it is a zero sum game? The answer is retail.

You hit the nail. Why would anyone help you to
make money? They are after your money.
I am neutral, not  vested  in any for now because I smell the crashes coming.
What is your take? Pls share.
 
I am fairly suprised that some poeple followed comments from others to buy and sell stocks instead of doing his/her own homework.
Some spread fear / pessimism to support their short positions while some spread optimism to support their long positions. 
No wonder retail always suffer the brunt.

The warning signs are getting stronger.
Last nights Dows 600 pt swing is the latest.
Fed cut, NZ cut, India cut, RMB broke 7, Dow plunged, world responded...
The global stock market crash is about to happen.
If you are a retiree or near retirement, take your nest eggs and run, because time is not on your side to recover from another crash.
 
Of course, you can sit tight and wait for STI to hit below 3,000 or lower.
Let me rephrase my last line - If this is not the BEGINNING of a crash, what is?
Good luck!
 
STI already dropped more than 6% from one year high and no one pamic..

1000 drop from 27000 is only 3.7%, don?t panic, when it drop near 10% which is 2700 pts then see how, drop 20% which is 5000 pts then panic, now just relax and conserve bullets to scoop low..

As I write @ 2130 SG time, Dow is down 420 pt.
This is its straight 6th day of losses.
If you add up the 6 days of losses as of now, it has lost
more than 1,000 pt.
If this is not a crash, what is?
 
Black Monday for Asia Pacific stocks!
Hang Seng down 760 pt, STI broke below 3200...
Dow tonight is unlikely to stay above water.
It is not too late to cut loss.
Run, run, run!
 
gold is reaching many years high.. people already move to gold as safe haven to prepare for the coming BIG storm.. conserve bullets (cash) now and wait for storm to be over and scoop low.. HUAT!!
Rate cut - first sign of bad times coming.
Stock crash - confirms bad times are coming
Recession - the reason for rate cut and stock crash
Japan was once a mighty nation, now barely surviving. Do you know how much interest the banks are paying?
Answer: Not Zero, but negative interest rate!
Stocks are coming down, and they look cheap, but they can be cheaper with each dive in Dow.
At near $6.00, Keppel looks really tempting ..... so is SIA going under $9.00, and......
 
Despite the good results and $0.25 dividend, OCBC is down $0.20 and more,
Keppel Corp is hitting $6.00,
SIA is heading $9.00,
And ......
If Dow hands you the Black Friday tonight, all hells will break loose next week (Chinese hells already broken)
 
I am delighted..
You actually followed me.
 
Chk his thread, u will see also singpost and sph. He really lost a lot
