Oct. 24: Stock Market Crash

[warrenog]

Ok, I will be the first to admit I know nothing about the stock market and have only come to really TRY to understand it over the last couple of months and after listening to some posts by camelot. My question, is what exactly do you think will trigger this significant drop? Just a question.

No idea.

However, a someone dropped a dollar bill on the stock market trading floor yesterday and it caused a STAMPEDE. Fortunately no one got hurt though it is known that the dollar bill changed hands at least 65 times before it disappeared.

Something as simple as that could be the trigger for a stock market panic.

What in the world? A one dollar bill? How greedy can you get? If a dollar bill can cause that, what would a hundred dollar bill do? I guess I should experiment.... Anyways, I look forward to a dollar crash more than a stock market crash. Because this dollar rallying bit is really getting on my nerves. The world's currencies all pretty much declining while the dollar goes higher than ever. People won't wake up until the dollar gets a hit. Because no one can afford anything. It's a much bigger deal than a stock market crash for main street in my opinion and quicker too.

Was probably more along the line of "I have never seen one of these before. WHAT IS IT???"

[warrenog]

You made me smile on that one mmerlinn.

[elka]

I am happy to see you at this forum mmerlinn!

I read your whole prediction information and I want to say I really admire your work!

Most of people, I have noticed, are in a complete state of denial, they want to push away any warning them information they get!
They want to live in their little unrealistic worlds and believe anything unreal, but the truth is to hard to swallow for them!

The warnings from whistle blowers they call fear mongering!
The prophecies they are told they lough about, but the insane media and even more outrageous informations from fake prophets like Zacharia Sitchin they accept as absolute truth!

Thank you mmarlinn for your interesting take on a possible future events!.I do take them seriously, and for the last 2 years I made many steps to protect myself and my family from coming events!!

Now everybody is asking: How did you know!!( I sold my house 2 years ago for an absolute awesome price).
I simply researched on the information that many calls fear mongering!

There will not be a crash tomorrow.

It will go down 300-400 points, that is it.

[warrenog]

Thanks mmerlin for the info on derivatives. If I understand this info correctly from my first read, this stuff sounds very risky at best.

At 15 minutes before the close, it looks like you are correct for today.

And I turned out to be wrong 3 months ago even though this is the lowest close so far. However, earlier this month I posted this (http://www.prophecytalk.com/index.php?topic=5109.37):

One last note. The high I expected on the last day of August actually occured on the next business day, Tuesday after Labor Day. As a result, there is a slim chance that the 24th may not be the low. Instead, the day of the crash could be the following Monday or Tuesday.

hmmm... Free market still alive and well...



DISSSSSSSSSMMMISSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDD..

You might not be wrong. The stock markets are rigged and can change on its collapse at ANY time! The Illuminati are known to change things (based on changing times) so they can better shift their agenda. The Illuminati are
powerful (when I say powerful, I mean to speak the truth and not underestimating the enemies. I never exalt the enemy.) but are not perfect. Only Yahweh Elohim is good and perfect. They have to change their plans accordingly all the time. Keep this in mind.

It isn't about you being right or wrong, anybody can see that things are going to get worse before they get better, that is the nature of a recession.

The problem with your predictions is that you take an extreme pessimistic view to everything (IMO) and that leaves you open to a lot of problems, the closer we get to the bottom.

Like it or not, the world isn't going to come to an end or turn into a Weimer Republic, the Politicians have a lot of tools at their disposal to keep that from happening, even if what they do is totally illusionary...

In my view, the Market is a bunch of BS anyways and governed more by the overall cycle Positive and Negative emotions than any underlying market fundamentals. If the Market Fundamentals actually mattered, the DOW never would have broken 8000 or 9000 in the first place and our market booms and busts would be much rarer.

It is clear most of the traders on Wall Street watch CNN, FOX, MSNBC and a few other sites for their "news" and react on that, not on any fundamentals, thus they are pulled by the nose by positive and negative emotion, not balance sheets.

Oil is a prime example of this. It shot up to $150 this summer due to speculation only and it is going down to negative speculation. OPEC wants to bump their price right now, but we are in a negative cycle. For them to get the price up, they need to do such a cut that it shocks the negative downward spiral into an upward spiral. Good luck with that. They cant stomach a cut of 10mbpd either.

I do believe that once the Election is over, a lot of negativity that is out there will finally come to an end because you wont have the two Parties telling people "VOTE FOR ME OR THE WORLD WILL END!". At that point, things will become slightly more "stable", as that political factor will be removed.

So do I think that we are in for Happy Days in 6 months? Nope.

I think that we are headed for 2-3 rough years and the DOW will go down further and probably bottom out in the 5000-6000 range.

However, history has shown in the past that the greatest amount of fear always happens as the DOW nears its bottom, just like the greatest amount of hype always happens as the DOW nears its top.

I am also a big believer in self preservation. The idiots on Wall Street, Main Street and 1600 Pennsylvania Ave will work out something, even if its illusionary because at the end of the day, that is all our current system is:
A series of crisis and calm periods.

[alice goes nuts....]

but what the big deal in the end, everyone saw this coming, now consentrate on how things will be in the future, now is time to start think about new sytems and how to not obey to this **** again, in another form, that seem tempting....people mist start small, not go into big sytems that semm to fit well.....this is about all this grouping activity....people must start small economical systems themself....
and the oppertunity will be there if a real collapse with starving etc comes up....people must learn to cooperate, do not make business with what you have left....then you start feeding this **** monster again....

i hope for a little more crack and wise people with cooparative ways of thinking.....so.....lets hope hard!!!

Depressions are always times of political and systemic change. These changes can be bad or good.

What we are going through now is a recession that will be sustained. The end result is millions will lose jobs, prices will come down, systems will collapse.

Out of the ashes, a new world will rise. It could be a good new world or a bad new world.

It depends on the mob and the change they demand.

Here is something to consider:

And this could be the straw that broke the camel's back.

Massive failure to deliver would DRAMATICALLY push the market DOWN.

So would massive dumping of treasuries.

Oops. Did not realize I double posted here until too late.

I don't happen to use biblical prophecy to make stock market forecasts (though I readily admit it might be as accurate as any of a number of other methods), but the timing of Oct. 24 for a major market decline ("crash" if you prefer) seems about right to me.

As Knightbk points out, at this point, words like "crash" are relative. The stock market is already around 40% below its all-time peak. We are headed down to at least 1800 on the Dow and quite possibly, just triple digits. We will get there not in a day, but over a few years, in a process of many days of 3-5% declines, punctuated by occasional (and steep) rallies to the upside.

My next near-term downside target is 6800-7000 on the Dow. I wouldn't be surprised to see it go quite a bit lower. However, following that decline, we should see a sustained rally back up to the 8800-9000 level, possibly even shooting as high as 10,000. Therefore, whatever "crash" may occur on or around Oct. 24 should be seen as one of many sharp drops, rather than as a mammoth one-time event.

While a nimble trader could theoretically make a good profit going long at 7000 and selling at 9000 on the Dow, in reality, it's far too risky that (s)he would get run over by the great bear market. The strategy of buying put options discussed above on this thread can be a good option for savvy traders, but at some point, many of the brokerage houses themselves are going to go broke (no pun intended), and so even if your online trading account shows you as "having" hundreds of thousands of dollars, you could still find yourself getting stiffed by your bankrupt broker when you want to convert those computer entries into real money, i.e. gold.

Hi mmerlinn,

Thanks for clearing up things in this forum and especially my own thread. Yesterday, we all saw a huge stock market decline, and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 hit new rock-bottom records! And today, we are seeing some extreme ups and downs. At this moment, the stocks are going down again. These are all precursors to perhaps what will happen tomorrow (October 24). Overnight, we also saw massive declines in the Asian markets. So everybody...hold on tight for a wild ride this weekend!

Ok, here is another question to which I cannot find an answer. I have read article after article about derivatives, collapse of the dollar, etc. Can it be explained to me on an elementary level what a derivative is and how it works?
Also, how does it affect the dollar?

[samncheese]

The Markets will muddle along until they get the rest of the taxpayers money....they only got a portion of the 700 bil.

[nirvanapirate]

Yea the stock market opened down this morning, and was only 200 points away from 8000 early in the morning.

Yes, let's refrain from banking on future predictions.. but some of these have merits, and there are always positive things you be doing in your life to continue working out of the system.

ah indeed. that snooze bar looks yummy...
