Stock Market Historic Crash, A Warning Shot Across Our Collective Bow / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Captain_Hook
That’s the way you should view yesterday’s historic crash, witnessing the largest single day point swings in history. You should view it as a warning shot across your bow, because most market participants will stay in the stock market until it’s too late. Then, when the real panic starts, a lasting panic with no recovery like yesterday, they will freeze like deer in the headlights, and it will be all over but the crying as stocks crash like never before in a Grand Super-Cycle event.

What ETF Investors Can Learn from the May 6 Flash Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Ron_Rowland
If you had any doubt that today’s markets aren’t what they used to be, it should be gone after last Thursday.
U.S. stocks were already having a bad day thanks to riots in Greece, elections in the U.K., freezing credit markets in Europe and a growing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Within a matter of minutes that afternoon, even some blue-chip stocks went from bad to worse to catastrophic. Then, just as quickly, they came back!

The Dangers of Quant Computer Trading Models, Dow's 1000 Point Drop Prime Example / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Sol_Palha
"Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it." ~ George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950, Irish-born British Dramatist
The initial trigger for the drop in the Dow was probably due to fears that the Greek crisis was going to spread. One could credit this for 300 or maybe even a 400 point drop in the Dow; however, a 1000 point drop is quite another matter.

Did Bankster's Crash the Stock Market to Send a Message to Congress? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mac_Slavo
In Conspiracy Fact or Theory news we ask our readers to consider the possibility that the 1000 point crash and subsequent recovery within a 30 minute time period was not a “fat finger” mistake, but rather, a clear message to our lawmakers that someone else, and not the American people, is in charge of America. This was a $1 trillion dollar move in stock markets, do you really buy that it was an accident as reported by the mainstream?

Stock Market Crash What is Going On? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Robert_McHugh_PhD
Where do I even begin. Thursday, May 6th, saw the single largest daily decline in the history of the U.S. Stock Market. But, even more amazing is that most of it occurred in a matter of 10 minutes, between 2:40 and 2:50 pm EST. During that ten minute period, the Industrials fell approximately 600 points. It was a scary drop, an all-out panic attack, a stock market crash free-fall where bids were absent, and selling pressure was powerful. At the bottom, the Industrials had fallen 1,010 points Thursday. Then deep pockets intervention appeared and bought markets hard, stopping the dive, and driving prices higher.

Did the Stock Market Fall or Was it Pushed? WSJ Baffled by Market Drop / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Danny_Schechter
The Wall Street Journal headline on the day after we almost lost the market reported that the wise men on the Street were “baffled” by the big drop Thursday. The Financial Times called the event “Shambolic” as if only a shaman can decode it.
A week after CNBC assured its high net worth viewers that Greece would no longer be a problem, there was an uprising there followed by a volcanic market cliff dive that the White House, NASDQ and every regulator is now investigating.

U.S. Market’s Stub Toes As Greece Debt Fear Spreads / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Brady_Willett
I’ll be the first to admit that I do not know how the Greece debt crisis/saga will end. What I do know is that when the rating agencies first warned on Greece’s debt back in December this should have been when policy makers urgently started to develop contingency options (assuming some were not already in place). And while delaying any bailout may well have been a ploy to squeeze as much cooperation from Greece as possible, it is clear with panic spreading from the debt markets to the equity (and countless other) markets that this tactic has been played in full. The 16 euro-zone leaders are meeting today to try and finalize Greece’s bailout and stop contagion.

EXTEND & PRETEND:Â Shifting Risk to the Innocent / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Gordon_T_Long
Markets never repeat themselves but they often rhyme. This rally feels like the same sonnet we experienced in 1987. As in a sonnet, it is following a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure.
In 1987 the rally began gaining steam in the spring when it already seemed overbought and extended. The rally had initially started in October 1986 at DOW 1400, but during the spring of 1987 it began to accelerate. It not only didn’t correct, but continued to gain momentum. Despite all the pundits saying it was about to correct, it just kept going up. By early fall the bears had capitulated and the public was scrambling to avoid missing further gains. They were quickly rewarded as the market moved even higher. No bad news, overextended fundamentals or technical warnings could stop the rise. The DOW was soon over 2700 for an approximate 93% rise.

Dow Plunges 1000, Closes Down 347, in Historic Session / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market had an epic day Thursday as the indices rolled over in the morning, accelerated in the afternoon, and then plunged with a huge spike down on heavy volume, reaching a negative tick of nearly 1700. The Nasdaq 100 dropped from over 1960 to nearly 1750, or 210 points. The Dow dropped more than 1000 and the S&P 500 over 100 points. But a vicious snapback rally ensued, and they took back about two-thirds to 3/4 of the losses.
