well cramer yesterday on realmoney silver said that if there is no deal, the dow down 2000+ points, is that true, or is he overreacting again?
I love Kramer! <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PKs6y9_d2ps&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PKs6y9_d2ps&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Could be true. Raise some cash. Get some foreign currency. Protect yourself. Nasdaq went from 5000 to 1400 and no one jump off the building. What so scary about Dow drop 2000+ points? In all likely hood, it could be the buying opportunity of a life time.
won't it be nice for trading ? 2000 drop and new bull market will begin? btw, world will not come to end if dow drops 2000 points.
A 2000 point drop would be 18% - less than the 22% correction we had on Black Monday in 1987. It would be as serious, in reality, though, because they just rotated a bunch of weak stocks out of the Dow, replacing them with supposedly more robust companies.
We've had a bubble in leverage, too. Could be market has to go down much more than 2000 to clean out.
well its big c right, what if the worst happens, and brokers clearning operations start to fail, and the dow goes down 50 percent complete armagedon.
If no agreement by market close on Friday, better get long anyway... wouldn't want to miss the big gap up after deal announced "before Asian markets open Sunday night" deadline..
