It's bit scratchy calling a double top about 13 points on 31 Jan below the high 5 Jan, but NZX certainly turned away on the broader sentiment. The whole thing looks like a brain fart at the moment. Silly but reality, that NZX reacts so preciously to SP5/DOW, but it does. Hence eyes on.

Dow up about 200 points. Can't help but think a lot of wishful thinking and reporting but the media and those who know sweet FA about the stock market. We do know that nothing goes up forever so we know what to expect.

Personally I think the possibility of an exaggerated Saw-Tooth decline pattern evolving is relatively high. Sell-offs tend to happen as discrete bulk events, but they are ongoing, brokers stop for a while, "an hour", "a day" or so to let the market think it's the new "low" ... before commencing another round of sell-offs.

This quite good -
Stock markets slide for a day. Result: mass panic and wall-to-wall coverage.
Soil is sliding off the land worldwide, threatening the entire basis of human survival. Result: indifference, no matter coverage.

MASSIVE intraday and daily volatility the new normal. I'm expecting the complete opposite of 2017 remarkable calmness for most of 2018.
Strong stomach's and seat belt's required or take some money off the table for a while like I have.
