The NIKKEI 225 plunged 7 percent last night almost 10 percent. The market is going to mud slide today. Good luck everyone with paper stocks
 
I'll have to keep my eye on this. Any initial indicator as to the dramatic drop in the market in Japan?

I bet our markets fair fine today. I'll know by the time I wake up, that's for sure :/

Lol! So what, do you think today is the day that the markets crash and paper money becomes worthless because Japan's market dipped a bit? Good luck with that theory. When I wake up at noon pacific time, the us market will be fine, chicken little.
 
Even if the market's are "just fine", it is somewhat illusory. The increase in the money supply, means the same $100 from last year will buy less this year and likely significantly less in following years.

You don't wake up until after the markets close?

Healthy markets do not sell off like that. Today isn't the day, but a foreshadow of what is to come.
 
Sell offs occur because of fear. No one wants to be the one last one out. But money can be made on the way down just like the way up.

Sometimes that fear is totally irrational and expectations quickly adjust. Any one event is not necessarily an indicator of anything.

You know what worries me is the Federal Reserve is using the same fiscal policies as the Japanese are.

Which is to print money and buy back bonds from the market. This is a joke.

The only reason the bond market is floating is because the Federal Reserve is buying 85 billion dollars worth of bonds a month.

Those auctions are hugely oversubscribed. There's plenty of interest in treasuries without the Fed's action (indeed, despite it, since their goal is to lower interest rates).
 
Their balance sheet is bulging. How much longer can they do it.

I don't think the market will be healthy until they allow it to correct. They are dragging it out.
