interest rates doesn't matter at this point who cares if it's 4% or 7% rate when you will have moves 10% every day hot money will move from one asset class to another creating bubbles and crashing If you haven't noticed japanese bonds were halted several times in the last weeks if you ask me what happened to gold you're probably blind I tell you those kinds of moves will happen everyday soon in all assets up down up down and those moves will be in double digits percent
You don't think that stocks as an asset class are inter-connected to other asset classes such as gold, bond, cash, etc?
gold miners were at 2009 levels last week some down 50% in a week are you satisfied? or when you hear stocks you can't imagine anything but Dow 30?
Now you are trolling. We are obviously talking about the broader market, who cares if a few stocks move 50% a day? There will always be such stocks in any market, but they are outliers and not representative of the general market. Market volatility has been on a down trend and its still shrinking, there is no denying this fact.
Stocks are directly correlated to bonds/treasuries, commodities have always been a lot more volatile than stocks but that has nothing to do with the fed, its the nature of the beast.
Anyone who thinks this can continue is going to be really surprised when this is all ends, this is a manipulated market that has signs of bubbles written all over it. Of course you wont know anything of how manipulated and foolish this is until wellllll after the fact its over!
