The official "ASX is tanking!" panic thread


We shall see.

Define "cheap".
 
If ever sarcasm was going to be totally justified, it's in this post. Completely agree, and ditto anything from the ratings agencies.
 
It seems noone is willing to make any predictions...

I have a feeling that its going to crash further.

But there is a rally in sight. Just a matter of when.

I might wait for this rally, and then sell off some of my more sensetive shares..

Hmmmm, this is a time for some smart trading. Shame I'm not yet a smart trader.

Need a mentor haha
 
Gee whiz matey I am holding thousands in losses at the moment which I will have to take today but I asked myself this question. Would I buy any more stocks in the now. Simply, I will not. Went through the last market correction and am gonna watch from the sidelines this time.

I notice there are people going in to buy the open of the big caps this morning.
 
Dow futures just opened around 2% lower. May give an indication where Asian markets might start the day.
 
Yeah what a rout. More than I anticipated but on the right side for once.
 
Define "cheap".

Cheaper than before the falls perhaps? It could well be said that the profits of some companies will be unaffected by the recent dramas and even a potential recession, yet they were still downsold.

But there is a rally in sight. Just a matter of when.

QE3?

The next few weeks could well be extremely eventful depending how the situation unfolds in Europe. We could even see a breakup of the EMU!

It may well be a good idea to hold onto cash until they figure out what they are going to do with all their debt (at least in the short-term), that's my prediction
 

Yeah, I started my portfolio in about april, So sadly i have thousands in losses at the moment. BUT, haven't taken any profits yet.

EDIT: sorry that wasn't very clear. I meant that i havent completed any trades and therefore am purely experiencing losses, not simply cancelling of previous profits.

So you are going to sell off today and take your losses then?

I'm still undecided. Might wait till closer to open and see what the preopens are doing.
 
Israel stock market circuit breakers suspended all trading on open, then crashed 6% at the close yesterday after the downgrade. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...january-lead-gulf-drop-on-u-s-rating-cut.html

Most other ME markets (apart from Saudi Arabia's which mysteriously climbed a little) also dived 2-5%.

Aww, just a blip?



PS - Damn NZX must be getting hammered by millions of curious minds.... hardly responding for me ATM...

finally - NZX 10 is DOWN 3% atm (10.30am NZ time).

Yes, aiming for my index shorts to cover the stock losses.

Hmm, looking at opens at the moment.

Alot of mine will open in the red, but not hugely.

Some have no open pricing just yet.

Fuuuuuck this is hard.

Ride the wave or bail out. hmmm

Careful. ASX might suffer v.slow performance in opening hour due to massive Net traffic (as has NZX this morning). Could be tricky for insta-trading!

Just saw NZX All heading towards -3.5%

Good luck...

Do you mean be careful as in, my sells might not get executed? or?

I may just hold on and top up on my favorites.. ANZ will undoubtedly go back up and AUT is solid.

Just a matter of sell now and by back in lower, or just wait.

So hard for me to take a loss, stupid mentality for the sharemarket though.
 
Unfortunately, the markets don't seem to care that I'm holidays.

1:15am Monday morning in Paris and I'm sitting waiting for the bell.

The Champagne I had for dinner should make this roller coaster all the more interesting...

-Liar-
 
The indicative price on STW (ASX 200 ETF) is showing an opening of 1.8% down.

If you can't reach the seat in front of you, put your head on your knees and hold your feet firmly on the floor to keep them from moving forward...

A noob question: is it possible to short the ASX at 10.01am to catch part of the fall, or is 10.01 too late as there would be a back log of stop sells to process.
