The next few days will tell the real story, if we stay flat, trend up slightly, or down slightly we're fine. If the market stays volatile but heads ultimately down tests 22.5k we're in trouble. Hopefully the head and shoulders stay off the graphs.

“We’re in trouble” is only relative to the timing of needs of funds.
Unless you are in late 70’s we cool

Past share buy back window we will see what action plays with added overseas liquidity incoming.

Well have fun. I am going to beat Lebron in a game of 1 on 1. It is just so hard to get it scheduled with his agent. Stupid agency rules holding me back. Get that out of the way and I am CHAMP BABY. lol

I can beat Lebron James too.
Just can't get his agent and I to agree to terms on the game. Too bad too, cause I'd wreck him by at least 50% more points than him.

I think we should score this round to SillieBazzillie. It does look like a dead cat bounce happened.

we broke through an important technical level of support today by closing lower than 10% down from the peak (23,954). if things stabilize then we had the famed "10% correction" but if we keep breaking lower, things might get very interesting.
edit: looking at some of the SMA, EMA technicals, we might be flirting with a bad bear trend. we crossed the 100 day SMA today (already crossed the 20 and 50 last week) and MACD nearing zero. if the shorter SMAs start crossing the longer SMAs, watch out!

Would have been better to just leave it alone.
His tax and regulation policies are good for the country and the exuberance that followed pumped up this market, far too much IMO. I think cash will be king for a while though gold might benefit.
And let’s face it: a P/E of 25 for the general market is just too damn high, a full 10 points or so above 100 year means and medians.

Although now I'm starting to lower my risk profile since I will be retiring in 8 years (don't feel like stomaching 2008 again - this close to retirement). In my taxable accounts (so, saving for house down payment, some college, vehicle purchases, home repairs, unemployment, etc) my average is lower %8.2/year but still rather good.

Predicting the turns is difficult. The market is significantly over priced compared to historical averages. These movements could be minor corrections or we could be seeing a crash.

We bounced off of the 100 day moving average and I suspect we'll test that again this week as the core issues that introduced volatility aren't going away and might get worse based on this week's financial news. Hope it's not so, but it feels like a lot of fund managers are sobering up after being drunk with wild gains the past ~15 months.

But I think it's safe to assume that the ride straight upward is probably over for a while. It shouldn't change much for passive investors with a long time horizon, but active traders will probably see some volatility for a little while.
