zhinzhon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Business is all about growing profits. In the city they have been pushing the markets to get as much as possible and now in the past week or so with no exception of today the market is collaspsing. The cracks have appeared and central banks are stepping in to plug up the holes and seal the cracks. Its going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

ae589 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Can anyone explain why we didn't have this type of SM hysteria around May/June time last year? Looking at the graph, these sorts of drops have been seen before. No-one knew why then (though some suspected) . Now it's bleeding obvious, so the fear is contagious.

I see the FTSE100 is almost at where it was last September - maybe CPI takes share prices into account now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is different this time Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 http://www.ft.com/cms/s/47122c40-4bbb-11dc...00779fd2ac.html European markets gripped by fearBy FT Reporters Published: August 16 2007 07:31 | Last updated: August 16 2007 13:11 European equity markets approached their lowest levels of the year on Thursday as concerns about financial companies and their exposure to the tightening of the credit market gathered pace. The market correction which began last week after BNP Paribas suspended three of its investment funds on Thursday accelerated. London’s FTSE 100 fell below the 6,000 level for the first time since March and hit a low for the year. By midday the index of the UK’s 100 biggest companies was down 161.8 points or 2.7 per cent at 5,947.5. Wait until the US market opens as it will get uglier!

Going to be ugly and it may impact the FTSE which so far has "only" seen declines at around 3%. 5700 by session end??? i doubt it, but it would be superb! Not long till the dow opens! Just 40 mins! If its down a 4% decline would come on the FTSE i guess...... anyone know what the one day record is? Does the market get suspended at 5% like in some other countries?
