Markets tanking in the US today, down close to 500 points on the DOW even after a very strong earnings season. I know the big boys will be loading up on shares at the moment.

Interesting that this happens at the same time as yield rates go over 3%

The other interesting part in all this is bitcoin is up 7%. We live in weird times.

Other weird thing is different asset classes take different directions. Another weird thing is different stocks, commodities and livestock in the same category also take difference directions. In the meantime commodity currencies are falling.

Japanese and Hong Kong markets are following Wall Street. Few speculative things are having short term support not because of fundamentals but because of short term speculation on the basis of various types of short term factors and activities of various types of market participants. Definitely, future business outlook will be buoyant not only for some sectors (could vary county to country and region to region) but also for strong balance sheet firms having sustainable business at least for next 10 years. Solid companies will have solid outlook. All short of short term economic, political or weather issues will create opportunities as well.

utilities and telecoms leading the charge again
