This wave of stock market declines does not seem to hurt the economy, so the Fed is also easy to deal with.
As the US economy is likely to peak and the Fed has barely shown signs of slowing the pace of interest rate hikes, the damage to the economy can be enormous.

Aaand down it goes again, for a few days  i started to doubt myself thinking maybe this is a correction after all. But now I am back on that bear horse, I am starting to look at commodities as investment .

I would not say that just solely based off the 3% correction that we saw today that anything major is coming our way, considering that in the last 6 months the index has still been on the upside.

But to me, there definitely will be a bear market within the stock market coming our way very soon. That's something that's only a matter of time after 10 years of consecutive growth as well as overbought shares, in my opinion. But obviously, you don't know when it's going to come.

All we can do right now is prepare and hedge against a potential stock market crash, which could have some pretty deep consequences. Holding some bitcoin which is independent of any of this could be a smart decision to make.
This is really how the stock market works. It can not sustain a bull market for 10 years, there is no time in the world where everything went good forever, there needs to be falls in order to have ups, there needs to be dark to see the light. Without one you can't have the other. Without stock market going down once in a while you can't have bull market to make you money.

The markets react to stuff, you can't stop that ever and when it reacts it makes investors pull their money back and causes stock brokers to sell those stocks to get the money to pay off investors all in a chain reaction causing stock market to crash. After the dust is settled, people go back to investing as usual and than just continue with their lives getting paid from investments as usual.

The US stock market closed this week in the red zone. The S&P500 index could not preserve the level 3000 and we saw that somebody was selling off the equities during last couple of days.
Why it might be so important? As we know the stock market is pretty overbought especially such the giants like Amazon, Facebook and so on. As far as I know plenty of traders are waiting a quite strong correction (10-30%) and there is the crucial question for many traders, I mean, is  it the new correction or it is just the trap for bears?
By the way does anybody have a short position in S&P500 and what is the price?

Everyone is talking about the imminent fall of the US stock market. But despite the fact that it has been overbought for almost a couple of years, there is no big correction. Recently, the market reacted negatively to Trump's statements about improving the situation regarding unemployment in the United States. Financiers see this as an opportunity to raise bank rates. But there is no big correction yet. I think that everyone is waiting for some more significant reasons, as it was 10 years ago.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation
As we know the stock market is pretty overbought especially such the giants like Amazon, Facebook and so on.
Ugh...I wouldn't touch either one of those stocks.  None of the other tech and social media stocks, either, like Twitter and so on.  That stuff smells too much like 1999 to me, even though some of them are actually making money (like FB).

History would tell us that the stock market is due for a correction, and even though I tend not to look at history in order to predict the future I'd tend to agree with that.  Eventually investors either get scared or start taking their profits out of the market, and I'd agree that right now the stock market is certainly inflated to the point where stocks are on average very expensive. 

I doubt Warren Buffett is buying many stocks in this market.  You would have made an absolute killing had you bought in in 2009-2012, but right now you might be buying at the top, just like bitcoin at $20,000.  But we'll see.  I haven't heard any really bad news that would suggest that the stock market might be in for a crash instead of a correction, but you never know.
Yes, i do think the same, its really dangerous to buy social media stock and it could turn out like dot-com stock back in 90s, i dont think buying facebook stock is good right now cause i see the decline of users and seems like facebook are dying even tough its still a live cause instagram is really popular. in my opinion better invest on crypto startup than stock.

I dont think that this is a correction, I belive that there will be bigger crash. It is simple, what goes up should go down, we have seen it countless times with variety of financial assets in world history and it is happeneig again and will continue to happen, this is how our world works. Everyone wants to make money by investing in something that will hopefully have more value tomorrow.

I don't know much about rhe stock market. But if it is anything like the price correction that happened this year, then I'd say it would suck big time for everyone in the economy. But then again, price correction can cause a boost in the value of stock so that could happen, but that is 1-10 chance. I juat hope that I'm underestimating the chances

It was one of the highest bull runs of our century so it was not a weird thing that eventually it went down, everything that goes up eventually goes down in stocks, the good part is when it goes up 10 it goes back down 5 so if you are a long term investor today is an amazing day.

If you purchase stocks at these prices than you will be making a killing with the future profits when the price goes back up to proper levels. The trick is being a long term holder without being too worried about the price drops, just like in bitcoin, if you purchased bitcoin just a year ago than you would be in profit today yet people keep talking about bear market.

US stocks are very  much bubble
Now earnings reports are starting probably most of them will be great but just on paper
There are worries caused be trade war
Many USA companies will experience higher costs
And weather .Because of tornadoes and dry food price of many commodities will be higher
So it could be worry about consumer spending

This is only the beginning....... The markets will crash horribly.  Housing bubble, unpaid student loans, car loans, low wages, angry citizens, failing businesses.

He is quick to call Bitcoin a bubble, but I think those stocks are definitely a much bigger bubble than Bitcoin ever was.  Grin
Could be, but the fact that there is too much fiat in circulation might be playing an important role in how the stock market bubble may last much longer than we think, which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see it go up more.

When the bubble finally pops, you can be sure that the bear market will last several years with how slow the legacy market cycles through its phases. The next question will be where all that capital will shift to.

It could be that crypto will directly benefit from a stock market pop. If even 10% of that capital ends up in the crypto market, we'll see an institutional driven bull run that makes the previous retail bull runs look like a joke.
At this point in time, I would actually say the best thing is to just wait and see how some support will be holding and how the selloff would be. The market actually looks very bearish, but we always know in a market, nothing is certain until we start seeing things happen really. Actually I am out as I feel the market has actually reached its overbought limit and I am more to the bearish zone right now than any serious bullishness. This is a market that I feel it is about to correct and it is something we will most definitely get to know pretty soon.

I was reading some news recently about the US market being overpriced and the possibilities of the whales distributing and cashing out as the case may be. Actually looking at all modalities and technicalities, I would say the stock market is actually gearing up for a bear rally. We may be wrong, but time will tell and judging from what we are seeing recently, I would not even advise anyone to be in stock at the moment or trying to get in at this stage.

Currently there is very little volatility on the stock market and VIX but everything may be changed soon so I am awaiting high volatility and I am into the game.

No I do not think it will fall into a correction. I note, there is no reason to go down in the fight here. I note how people ask this now, and not the last time we were at this price. There is more focus on the market this time. All the more reason to rally into the faces of neysayers.

Anything is uncertain neither on both stocks or crypto market. There would always be a sweet spot but we know we wont really able to get in on the right time due to hesitations and doesnt believe on possibilities.
We might able to say that we are on the top now when it comes to stock price but it might be possible it can shoot up on least we expect.Therefore, as a stocks trader if you do have insights of a certain stock then its up to you if we can able to risk or not.

Stocks are in a bad place, so I have been told. People are really trying to weasel out of it, and not make a big loss. FB is no longer making as much money as you may think it does. It recently got hacked again and 50 Million user's data is potentially and alledgedly leaked. FB's privacy and security is a joke and that's leading them nowhere. Other stocks aren't in a great place either, if I wasn't clear earlier. They may look as if they are doing good, but in reality things are really much different.

okay, but why?

in a stock market crash scenario, i think it's more likely the opposite. we're talking about a huge economic contraction, and crypto is absolutely not a "safe haven" with its < 10 year history and beta software status (which still occasionally has major bugs).

when credit is easy and the markets are bullish, institutions might pile into high-risk markets. not really so during major contractions. i'd love be proven wrong on that though.

What the Fuck is Warren Buffet doing with his life.  That McDoialds eaing jew  has over 80billion and hes just going to continually hoard more money until he dies.


Make no mistake, the stock market will crash VERY soon, it will be brutal.  Amazon, Apple, TEsla are dogshit stocks that will crash HARD. It's dot.com bust all over again.

This forum thread could address some of the questions raised in OP:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/executives-are-selling-off-their-companys-stock-at-a-record-pace-5040930

Over the past 1-2 years, sometimes, when I read websites sharing stock picks I've suspected they often recommend buying stocks one percenters are trying to dump on markets.

I got the same feeling seeing newer accounts on this forum & elsewhere recommending that people buy ethereum or bitcoin cash. The peak of those endorsements could come at times when holders are in their dump phase. We've witnessed many dumps over the last 18-36 months not only on stock exchanges but in the crypto world as well. Real Estate also may be entering a dump phase if indeed prices are on their way to a decline, as some say.

What does it all mean? This topic is difficult to discuss without venturing into conspiracy theories most would prefer to ignore. It would seem that economic growth is expected to taper off. In terms of risk versus reward many bigger players are opting out of markets due to low growth expectations not being worth it in terms of risk assessment. IDK TBH.

I don't even know if its worth discussing as an overwhelming majority may prefer to ignore it.

Yeah, there are plenty of signals for the new correction. In fact retail investors and mutual funds do not buy equities on such highs but companies are committing buybacks their shares putting them on their balances. There are some assumptions why they do so but actually it does not matter because the fundamental factors will correct the situation quite soon.  
By the way you are right I have already noticed that mostly members are not interesting the US stock market albeit it is one of crucial parts of the world economics.
