Re: PANIC!!!!!

Its times like these that those that aren't geared to the rafters go in and have a field day picking anything they like from the panic stricken sheep. I'm not sure about anyone else but when there are sales on one goes out and shops then.....a sale is on right now.....I think there might be more weakening so I'm waiting a little longer before i get my shopping bags out and buy those red dot specials that seem to come around once a year

Re: PANIC!!!!!


This might be the pre-holiday sale...I think I will wait and see if the post-holiday sale is better.
 
Re: PANIC!!!!!

Yes I can see your point on this, but it all depends on the angle of the dangle.
Which will depend on the heat of the meat for accurate EW count

I agree as well, it think I'm going to wait until the at least the choppiness had settled a bit, people are going to be sensitive and irrational for a little while I think...

Don't know if its a fair comparison, but this is what happened in may last year... I snapped up specials after the initial panic and got some good gains, only to then loose them when the bargains got even cheaper... though, my mentality went into 'panic' and I dumped the lot! Doh!

Agree not totally, but somewhat.,

If in doubt trust to chaos theory, but always keep a stop loss and let your profits run, and ... watch the angle of the dangle.

Re: PANIC!!!!!

Did someone ay womething about waiting for the choppiness settles before buying in. It is interesting reading some of the analysts reports of what they think may be ahead.

The quote and reference below, appeared on ET today.

“Domestic stocks were extremely overbought and even mildly bad news could trigger a meaningful shakeout,” said analysts at BCA Research in Montreal in a note. They “would not be surprised” to see a 20 to 30-per-cent drop before the market stabilizes.

Watching the unfolding of the realisation of the potential effects of the Yen Carry Trade could be interesting as well.
 
Re: PANIC!!!!!

To respond to Tech's original question, I've done nothing today. I had one order in the market for a buy at a price which I thought fairly ridiculous and unlikely to go through but which did of course trigger.

In a SMSF can't short and am entirely happy to hold throughout the correction. All corrections in the past have gone on to record new highs.

This event today is where I just don't understand why those of you who have stop losses automatically triggered (if they are in solid companies with good fundamentals) , only to buy them back when you are sure they are once again trending up, do this, given that you are complicating your tax situation and costing yourself extra brokerage. This query doesn't apply to the penny stocks obviously.

The following extracts offer somewhat of a sense of proportion on the day's events:

Re: PANIC!!!!!

all I know is when in doubt do naut - and today I just watched the bright lights flashing past - maybe tomorrow is the day to buy? or sell? lol. confusion reigns supreme.
 
Re: PANIC!!!!!


How about (5) They think its only a once-off one-day correction so its much better to hold, but if 2mrws down again then its all over and thats when we get the big dump? Theres alot of anticipation on what america will do 2nite.

Greetings Garpal,

Most stop loss triggers would have been hit today, snow balling etc etc....

Also the frustration of stops that suffer gaps past their trigger that don't!
Wankers place these thinking they will be protected.

Re: PANIC!!!!!

Having read a lot of the posts about the correction it would seem that the forum is equally divided between this being the start of a serious decline and a good buying oppurtunity, discounting of course the "indecisive 2 bob each way" ones. Wonder if this is indicative of the general feeling everywhere.
 
Re: PANIC!!!!!

My research suggests that there hasn't been a single day loss at the beginning of a correction to this extent (2.7%) since the beginning of the bull run back in March '03. The previous contender was Oct '05 with 2.1%. The average across the 4 significant pullbacks that we've had was about 1.6%.

So the extent of the single day loss today tends to set this correction apart from the others, so far.
