Stock market collapse in October

[SantaClaus]

Back to man-made climate-change "science" again?

Speak now! What evidence? You have at least a captive audience of one.

Seriously though, it feels to me like things are going to go titsy, but I'd rather have some insight from someone who actually knows.

[Doffs cap, and reverses twirling arms all reverent like]

I'm flattered, but by no means an expert. I just go by technical analysis and that nothing has really changed since the crash earlier in the year. Unlike others on this forum though (ahem: sadguru), I have put my money where my mouth is

You're dying to know what I've done, aren't you?
Lets just say I don't have a massive overdraft like you do.

Does anyone know how to invest in a global fund? And are there high management costs?

An example...

FTSE up nicely today already (mining stocks booming).

The higher the rise, the bigger the fall.
I will adjust my position accordingly.

But the market isn`t high, it`s low. This isn`t just a fall from the 2007 or 2008 peak, this has been part of a longer term fall for the market. When was the market this low? 2003? When everything is considered, stocks are back at mid 1990 prices.

We may have a little hiccup soon but I reckon that`s all it`ll be, the crash has already happened and it`s over.

All IMO of course

How does that famous quote go? The markets can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent?

Go SAS go!!!

I still don't understand....

So if you think there is going to be a crash??....

Have you:

Sold shares and then later going to buy back at a lower rate?

OR

Effectively bet on the the shares dropping?

I'm baffled?

Its probably best I don't know as I'll want some of the action but interested... (also why is this smiley called "Freaky" when it looks more confused?)

Pound is up too. All green

Everything green?

That'll be the world's largest economy hitting a record deficit of 1.4 trillion dollars.
