[prawn_86]

wat is the definition of a correction? is it a certain % move?

IMO the market will trade sideways up until the election as there is uncertainty. It will be good to consolidate at these levels before pushing on again into the new year.

 

[The Mint Man]

yeh, Im not a bear but I would agree with the other guys. I think we may see a small correction before octobers out but I think we will see a good run up to christmas after that

Cheers

I am still bullish till at least late Jan/Early Feb 08, then I will switch to cash for the next correction

well something had to give we've had 8 straight weeks of positive gains ,i for one dont begrudge giving a little back.USA's reporting season started today with up to 80 leading companies reporting this week so we may be influence a fair bit by the DOW

When is the next correction?

November the 24th. And a long time coming.

 

[nizar]

Historically november to april are a very good time for equities.
Then, sell in May, and go away

 

[vishalt]

Depends on this burden of an index!

look at all the stuff that we are expecting out of the US this week:

- Economic data should provide clues on interest rates and whether the US economy is heading for a recession.
- Busy week on the earnings front – 86 companies of the S&P 500 are scheduled to release 3Q results.
- The Fed will release their Beige Book on Wednesday.
- The Housing data is expected to stink…again.
- The homebuilders index fell to a 21 year low in September and economists are expected a further decline in October.
- The CPI should increase 0.3%, mainly on the back of higher energy prices. Core inflation is expected to rise by 0.2%.
- Thumbs down for building permits – they are expected to fall 3% to 1.28m, meaning building permits would have fallen 43% this year.

I think last night the DJIA and S&P set the mood for a correction. If anything adds to this we could be in for a solid correction.

Also, in Australia, AGL set the mood yesterday for a possible correction if any other companies report profit downgrades.

I am not alarmist and am generally bullish but there is a little too much happening in the US this week given that the mood will already be bearish with the 20th anniversary of the 1987 crash comming up this weekend.

You can basically expect a correction in nearly every quarter. In this last quarter that would be anytime before the Santa Claus rally.

If the 20th anniversary is coming up of the 1987 crash what happened at the 10th anniversary of the 1987 crash?

no idea lusk but i am not discounting the impact that all this talk on people in the middle of the current credit squeeze

 

[nikki]

ok here is the 10th anniversary figures for the DJIA:

10 oct 1997 - 8045
20 oct - 7921
24 oct - 7715
27 oct - 7161

hmmmm - doesnt say anything to me about the psych around the anniversary but i am now curious why there was such a big correction between the 10th and 27th in october of 1997.

 

[Uncle Festivus]

No more corrections - only crashes. Probably black Friday
