Black Monday ??

TOKYO, April 18 (Reuters) - Tokyo's Nikkei average fell over 2.5 percent by mid-morning on Monday as fast spreading concerns about the strength of the U.S. economy triggered a broad-based sell-off.


Hope this is the start!! I love the short side!

historically, this is setting up just like October of 98' ..

another red flag is the fed .. with signs of inflation, the fed needs to raise rates ..but now, we may be faced with slowing of the economy ... he certainly can't lower ...but now he may not be able to raise either ... at least that is what the bond market is saying ...

don't forget a rallying U.S. dollar is antiinflationary. Care to post more about your '98 analysis.
 
got this from sentimentrader....take a look at the chart

"The scale on the Stock/Bond Ratio is the number of standard deviations the ratio is from its mean value. The lower the ratio, the more stocks are undervalued against bonds.

As of Friday, stocks hit a level that hadn’t been seen since 9/11, exceeding -3 standard deviations. Since 1962, anytime this ratio had gone beyond -3, the S&P was higher one month later more than 75% of the time, with an average return of over +3%. It has been perfect since 1998, going 20 for 20, with an average return of +6.3%."

How does it go 20 for 20 when there's only 6 arrows on the chart?

yes its weak and the volume is huge
there is no doubt this market has some serious downside potential

but to hear marketspammer/hankrollins/ and dozens of other aliases pumping his own calls but in reality----- (the ashlee simpson) of elitetrader
call another black monday (after getting smoked last time) seriously makes me consider the timing of future downside

seriously Baron, why do you allow this slug back here after he started the other website directly competing against yours?
 
For what is worth, this looks identical like last April. Just like this week it was dropping with daily rate of 1.5-2% . On Monday (3 May) there was a bounce.

Just looking back over the past few years, it looks like we got some decent sized selloffs almost every year during tax week. The following week after these tax week selloffs were positive. I haven't done a serious analysis of this yet, just took a quick glance.
