How bad will tomorrow be?

Friday's closing numbers:

Dow Jones 12099.30
Nasdaq 2340.02
NYSE 1325.19


We are set for a tumble, fall or dive tomorrow when the US Markets open. Today, Asian Markets fell 3-6%. Any predictions from the market-wise?

How bad will tomorrow and this week be?

I'd say in the 1000 point range. Hey, Mr. Insane President, where the fuck is my $1600 check? Or are you going to welch on that too?

I've heard a lot about this coming slide, the recession, etc.

I haven't heard anyone mention where the bottom is. I've heard no one talk about any positive on the horizon.

How long do you think the recession will last, and when/how can we pull out of it?

All of the models that I have seen (and I will admit upfront that I do not fully understand them) do not take into account the massive daily increase of debt that the war is placing on our economy - it is like they just ignore it. Billions of dollars a month are added, practically "off the books". No previous "slow-down" or "recession" or "depression" or "adjustment" has had this added insanity of millions and millions of dollars being sucked into a black-hole every day. If no one will look objectively at our entire economy, how can we know where we are headed (except for hard times). At this point, I am not even sure if there is anyone out there who actually knows what is REALLY happening in this economy...so...I would say the outlook is rather bleak...sorry...

on March 20. I think I was being conservative.

There will be a sucker's market after that, as foreign money thinks there are bargains to be had, but the general trend will be down until Stupid leaves office.

At least the interest and dividends are coming in, no matter what the face value of the stock is doing.

I don't think that's as bad as could get, though. The odds are it'll get worse than that.

It should be a bloodbath if that is any indication.

I don't see any way the market does not take a huge dip.

Sure hope I am wrong .....

If the sell-off continues there, it will hit here by the open.

Keep in mind, global markets have held up mostly since the beginning of the year. U.S. stocks have been tanking most of the month.

Even if markets are down, I would suspect a 1-2% drop as opposed to what has happened in Asia.

I am going to be counter-intuitive and say a slight gain or dead cat bounce on any good news.

European and Asian stock markets have both seen sharp declines today.

Investors are showing doubts that the U.S. government's plan to prevent a recession will do the trick.

The benchmark stock index in the U.K. dropped nearly 4 percent. A French stock index fell by 4.5 percent, while Germany's slipped more than 5 percent.

Earlier, in Asia, India's benchmark stock index tumbled 7.4 percent. And the blue-chip index in Hong Kong dropped by 5.5 percent. That's its biggest percentage drop since the aftermath of 9/11. Japan's benchmark index is at its lowest close in more than two years.

:popcorn::popcorn:

And i'm free, free falling.
Yeah i'm free, free falling.
And all the vampires walkin' through the valley move west down ventura
Boulevard.
And all the bad boys are standin' in the shadows, and the good girls
Are home with broken hearts.

The BushCo Regime is having a wide reaching impact.

all gamblers are doomed to lose.

the worst news tomorrow will be the SC primary results.

The SC Democratic Primary isn't until Saturday.

It's already over.

a 400 pt rebound in the Dow tomorrow. I see no reason to believe the PPT doesn't have any more tricks up it's sleeve. There have indeed been rebounds before(on a see of hot air, excess liquidity, and phony econ. statistics) on days after drops in foreign markets while we had a holiday.
Flame away and we shall see.

We'll see soon enough.

Does anyone know how Lee Mercer is investing his money?
