Black Monday

[janner]

Article dated 26 March - probably one of the doomsday articles which contributed to markets falling like a stone.

Then, we have had outstanding gains in the last two weeks - so what are the markets telling us?

The market is telling us to not be taken in by all of these so called " Experts ".
Do your own research.. Make your decisions... On your own.
What better teacher to learn from ?...

OR that the banksters are in control
All they needed to do is give the tree a serious shake and are now hoovering up the cream with all their cheap money
Who will end up with all the cream?
The investors running in fear or???

Be very careful,the algorithms are coming for your shares too
" Algorithmic trading has also been linked to significant market volatility. While quality control measures can help prevent losses owing to poorly defined or coded algorithms, investors should be aware of the dangers of giving up control and letting computers do all of the work."

Thanks for posting the link Balance. Unfortunately I couldn't access it to find out why the Fed went nuclear with QE Infinity but another site says:

Now, the Fed went totally berserk just within one week from the QE1! It means two things.
First, the previous measures turned out to be ineffective. Told ya so! You cannot stop the health crisis with monetary policy.
Second, the pace and scale of the current crisis is shockingly fast.
But now, the economy is frozen

Another doomsday article to reinforce the one above.

What’s the common thread between the two articles?

Obviously written by those who have shorted the markets and pushing their points of view.

Which is fine - readers just need to be aware of the agendas behind the articles and read objectively.

They could be right or they could be wrong - only you can decide whether to act in concert or at variance with their agendas

Don't they realise that all that cream will quickly clog up their Hoovers?

Or written by the banksters hoovering up with their cheap credit facilities.
They will be in for the medium to long term & are just using their short term views to scare everyone witless.
Not that I am saying BH is one of the banksters but
BH waiting for their opportunities

BH has always been principled when they articulate their views & clear where they see the risks and the opportunities - I have plenty of time for their assessments and strategies.

They are not always right but they tell it as they see it.

Compare and contrast with thevlikes of say, George Soros who made his fortune by front-running ideas and views. Be careful!

Rather rude but straight and true to the endth degree.

All governments are always in hock with big businesses and banks - so you can choose to benefit from the situation by investing accordingly - or you can rage like Vic.

Agreed, Australia has already put curbs on foreign investment.
