Imminent and severe market correction

the BDI just keeps dropping... doesn't bode well for the skippy, amonst others.. another record fall in the Baltic Dry Index which dropped 5.74% to 6,915 and six month lows and down from record highs of 11,039 on Nov. 13th. The fall bodes poorly for the global growth outlook

Hi, Can some educated fella let me know if all the big troubled financial institutions of the USA have presented their Quarterly report?

I think as the big ones like Citi, MER and others have written off $$Billions, Plus a Fed rate cut of .5 will initiate a small rally.

Especially some blue chips might post some odd profit ( Like HP, Dell and MSFT.. though intel posted a profit but it was below expectations..). This might create an illusion of things settling down.

Am I slightly on track in my thinking? I am hoping for a suckers rally.
 
I thought I was a bear, but this is scaaaaaary:

Just saw on BBC that fiscal stimulus package will be unveiled on Friday in the US. The speculation seems to be it will consist of tax cuts and rebates.
 
Is the current situation still called a correction or what is the correct terminology for it? There is a term for everything else, what is this versions of what is happening.......ie, dotcom

Economic distress or a financial correction , usually due to an economic contraction .
 
Boy what a rant! Bit of emotion bubbling up in that one.

That person has probably watched too many TV shows lately... severly dramatised disasters... the hurrican that will flatten New York... the cold freeze that will send half of the earth into an ice age... etc, etc...

The guy is a gold bug. They all seem to be like this.

But the scary bit is that the scenario is possible. The infuriating bit is that things have been allowed to develop to a stage where it is possible.

This wouldn't be good for anyone, even gold bugs, so let's hope it never plays out like that.
 
This is the worry I would say , if it gets back near this event , trillions not billions will have been wiped from the market . But it's not just the US , I've got at least another 10% off the Hangseng B's , maybe 15 - 20% if fear grips hard .

"...LETS HOPE..." Living on hope leads to no hope. I had a read of the blurb and it makes a lot of sense. Go through it and pick out the bits that may be wrong. If after thinking about it you cannot, then perhaps we should at least be prepared for the worst as we are prepared for the best.

Just picked up some Oxiana at a rediculously low price. Yep I'm a gold bug but the gold bugs have been studying the world currencies big time for years. That's why they are gold bugs.

The seppoes have spent all the borrowed money. I feel for the unfortunates that will be thrown out of work and into poverty
 
The UK Guardian is reporting that a Scottish Equitable 2 BLN GBP UK property fund, was forced to shut its doors to withdrawals yesterday after the slump in commercial prices triggered panic selling by small investors. Scottish Equitable said yesterday that 129,000 small investors in its property fund will not be able to access their money for up to a year, although payments relating to regular income already being paid, retirements and death claims will not be affected. It said the fund, invested in London office blocks and shopping centres across Britain, no longer had sufficient cash reserves to meet demands from investors wanting to withdraw their money. Its "buffer fund" was down to 1% of its total assets, instead of the usual 10-15%.
The Guardian states that the crisis in the UK"s commercial property market is now worse than at any time since the early 1990s, when Olympia & York, the company that began the Canary Wharf office development in London, went into administration. Fears that the run on these funds will spread have been fed by financial advisers continuing to recommend that investors take their cash out of the funds that remain open.
