Dumbass economist spotted.

The only real reason this selloff happened was because the odds of a rate hike being on the table for September/October are above 50% currently according to various large financial institutions. So they pull their customers out of positions and start selling large blocks of shares that they, as an acting trade-intermediary, have to make the rest of the market panic and start selling too. If the equities markets drop too far then the Fed (historically at least) won't raise rates until they recover.

What like according to Goldman Sachs who have huge positions in favour of the rate hike?

>>1494839
So what you're saying is that certain interests don't want the Fed to raise rates so thats why they rig the market and sell?

>>1494839
it was 30% last time I checked

Apple's shitty iPhone release. Pretty sure this didn't help the S&P selloff, AAPL fell like 2% two days in a row. About to become bear market. Get your S&P shorts and VIX longs on.

Nigga I don't fucking know. I think it was because the Saudi - Russian oil deal to raise the price of oil didn't go through. Plus central banking interest rate bullshit again.

Good idea to buy Disney or no

Relax Jack. It just means stocks are on sale, so buy em up

NIGUHHHH

My therapist is on vacation so I'll use you guys instead. That seems like a good idea.

this sounds silly, but it's really fucking with me. This is basically a significant chunk of retirement and my families wealth, and my decision could have an impact of hundreds of thousands plus or minus. I can't sleep at night, and I pretty much have to do all my zen shit to calm down when I start trying to figure out an entry strategy.

There are going to be plenty more days like this in three weeks time. The raising of fed rates in US will signal the true market disarray and credit/equity bubbles, and we are going to have a very big depression for 3-4 years if the central bank delays it for another 6 months.

If, however, the crash starts around the election time, one or two years of recession shortly after is what we are looking at. You are going to want to hold FAZ and look at hedge funds like IEP that hold bear positions.

Long live the bear.
