was reading elsewhere,
NIKKEI 225 Index futures have crashed 19.1% from their 11 July high, to their Friday night low. And a trend that accelerated in the last few days.

They want a stronger yen. On 31 July, the Bank of Japan raised rates to 0.25% from 0.1%, and the BOJ Governor was uncharacteristically hawkish.
 
I wonder how the markets will react to the September quarterly results?
well results seem to be all about expectations and forecasts in recent years

so if expectations are now dimmed ... even small beats are liable to trigger rallies

looks like back to old metrics ( and historical performance ) for my buying decisions for the rest of the year
 
.


...and a bit of youthful exuberance here: .
If I had to summarise everything in a few simple sentences I would say – We've seen a massive implosion for global markets. This reflects a pivot from inflation worries to recession, and the unwinding of the Yen carry trade has only added further insult to injury. Traders are now pricing in a 60% chance of an emergency Fed rate cut – the US clearly wants none of this. Regardless of what happens, we're now left with a lot of volatility. Even if the market bottoms, this is the prime environment for whipsaw action and wild swings. Unless your thrive off volatility, the current market is not for the light hearted.

Keep an eye out for dip buying price action – Most of our overnight ETFs ticked lower but well off worst levels....
 
Most of the stocks I hold have already dropped weeks ago and only saw a .8% drop yesterday at the worst.

I keep well away from one hit wonders, at least I have a chance at weathering the storm.
No lightning strikes today, sunny days again. Japan gains her composure, overseas markets grinning in anticipation, and we're happy Larry.
