how low can it get?

[zhihau]

Even with the bail out plan approved and signed, the dow still tumble as it might not be close enough for financial sector. With DOW ending at -157 points. HOW low can it go?

 

[dysentry]

10000 level should be a strong psychological support, would take another shock to fall below that, prolly something like GE up lorry.

Things getting complicated with interest rates, currencies and inflation in the picture.

I believe it will go below 10,000points.
With the job market expecting to be worse in the coming months. More job losses mean more family unable to pay the mortgage, hence more foreclosure and that will put more pressure on the housing market and the banks that hold the mortgages.

Even such a large company such as GE is even affected, much less the rest.......

As for the STIs, anybody would like to hazard a guess, say before or by 31 Dec 2008.

I say it will be below 2000pts.

Merrill Lynch falls while Goldman Sachs rises, opportunity aplenty during crises...

I think it will drift around 2000 while we grapple with mild recession and inflation due to falling USD.

A can of coke will cost $3.

Stock indices will go as low as they need to go till a psychological floor is found. Stock prices do not necessarily indicate actual performance of businesses. A can of coke can be substituted with more healthy local drinks at affordable prices. $3 buys you a good bowl of noodles, a plate of chicken rice or 3 roti pratas. Singapore tap water is WHO standard compliant.

Stock prices may not indicate actual biz performance, but they will. And when they do, it may be too late for u to do sth about it. Stop talking cock and make others lose money. Brush up your bootlicking skills first before diverting your attention to other areas of study.

Precisely, Zhihau!

This is the time to buy stocks, not sell them. Stocks have already priced in a recession (which will most likely happen), and are trading at inexpensive valuations. Now is the time to put money to work! Dollar cost average on all dips.

Projected bear market low for S&P 500: 1060 (which is the July 2004 low). Projected bear market low for STI: 1950 (50% decline from all time high).

Just hold off before you go on a buying spree.

Still got lot of room to dive down down.

Hmmm... standby your cash for a buying binge.

The stock market is going to strangle the players day by day
one by one will get choke and collapse. This bear run is going to be the mother of all bears in living memories.
