Nikkei is Open, Already dropped 440 points, down 2.24 %

Watching the Asian Markets tonight to see how bad it will be tomorrow on the Dow.

Not looking good.

How long has the correction in the American markets been coming for, years?

Consumption isn't going up so how's the market going up? Is it inflation?

Leftover QE?

What happens when the Feds raise interest rates?

Yahoo has the Nikkei linked...

Based on the economy I thought we should crash when the Dow was 14,000. The fact that it climbed to 18,000 was simply money manipulation at it's finest.

Obama's gift of a trillion to the banks worked quite well to stimulate inflation and prolong the collapse.

But he has done nothing to actually try and prevent it.

The good news and bad news, a collapse will likely wake people up unless the elitists bankers are able to start a world war.

This is going to be interesting... I predict more massive money-printing (I doubt they'll call it "QE4", a new label likely). The Fed can NOT raise rates. Just talking about it sends shivers down the necks of the establishment. The public will not tolerate another bailout, so I think banks will have to endure some pain this time. Limited "bail-ins" may be implemented selectively among certain shareholders. But inevitably, we're heading for global depression.

Already done that in the UK...talk about it that is. The thing is, people here have grown happy enough with the juxtaposition between low interest rates for mortgages and low interest rates on savings in banks, because the banks themselves are still unstable, and why they continue to pay themselves oodles of money in pats on the backs. They used to say here that those with plenty of money kept it all under the mattress...WTF d'you think banks did/do?

Every single Asian market is down right now, Every major stock exchange world wide is on the down swing. Ebbs and Flows, Bulls and Bears, Rockets and Fires, Suicides and Wars. As the World Turns.

The fuse has been lit.

But relax. Obama told us we've recovered.

Don't think the biggest worry for me is the decline. The money loss sucks. The question is how bad it gets. The problem.is no matter how bad it gets we have no more responses. The trick bag is empty, used it all during 2008-2011.

Take place of your mattress, because they want you to believe your money is safer when being loaned out and gambled with than under your flame resistant mattress in case there is a fire.

There is always a trick bag. A war may alleviate some pain. Ending the Fed is a nice trick. Jailing Wall Street thugs by the thousands in their own private prisons maybe, returning their money to the people it was stolen from? I like that trick.

There are tricks and realistic tricks. Fed isn't going anywhere and money will not be returned. A war? Cash flow could be an issue. But possible. jailing wall street, anyone go to jail last time or was taxpayer money handed over?. So again, dealing in reality. Trick bag is empty

Were all of the bailouts realistic at the time? It spelled the end to come for all of us the second it was even mentioned, and yet they got it, and they got raises! So why not take those raises away from them and put it back where it came from? Makes moral sense.

As an update in a short period of time since the markets opened in Asia. Nikkei is down 580, Shanghei is down 292, and Hang Seng (the largest market) is down 794. All down 3-8%. Haw many more chemical plant explosions loom in the future for China?

Not arguing morality, arguing reality. No raises are getting taken away, everyone knows this. What may be right, is not reality. So again, realistically speaking the trick bag is empty. We have no response left no matter how bad it got
