In reply to the discussion: Dow plummets 1000 points into correction territory, S&P 500 drops 3.7% to new low for week [View all]bucolic_frolic
(55,257 posts)17. It's 1983 or 1987 all over again
when the Fed raised interest rates.
I follow this indicator: http://www.wwfn.com/crashupdate.html
Though can't vouch for its accuracy. Kind of after the fact at times.
I'd bet we're a cinch to see 21,000 or thereabouts
Perhaps 18,900
And in a real governmentally bungled response, who knows what that means in today's world, more is possible
My guess ... due to the rampant upside we've had, the interest rate hikes, the inflation and perhaps stagflation implied
16,783 but that really would require something geopolitical ... Korean strife, Olympic difficulties, oil supply problems, Middle East turmoil, for example.
Don't listen to me. If you knew how bad I am at this you'd fire me!

Yes. This is happening because the Democrat party failed to applaud during the SOTU.

It's having their entire retirement in a single stock that was the mistake.

This is the mistake that "radicalized" Steve Bannon. His father had all his money in company stock.
