FTSE 100 to make comeback after Wall Street's dramatic "dead cat" bounce
London's blue chips are seen rising 44 points, but futures are pointing to more losses in the US
US finished up! So a better day tomorrow (well maybe)
Hardup
I would get back in but due to inflation being out of control and cheap money coming to an end I really don't see why would invest in the current market. The Dow is overpriced currently and the ftse cannot think for itself so it will drop in line as it always does. If I am wrong then I will miss out but I don't want to be holding a high average in years to come.
Maybe you should get back in tomorrow morning PSK.......
1 day up out of 8 nothing to shout about
Possible Bull Trap...

going close to level at the moment
DOW Jones and NASDAQ have clawed back more than half their early losses today. See a bounce tomorrow.
Morgan Stanley 'buy' recommendation for the FTSE 100, labelling the investment case "compelling"
Haven't seen Chips of late with her "last chance to jump aboard" for the 84p express lol.
Thanks for the response Theosus. Unfortunately my knowledge / risk level of investing limits me to savings accounts, shares and funds! I guess this is what separates the wealthy investors from us mere mortals!
"Dow cratering 1,000 points in 3 hours.
Nasdaq collapsing -5% in a day. Down -19% in 2 months.
Market crashing."
It's all about the FED, and the market is clearly sending a message that they don't want to see large interest rate rises, but the FED should concentrate on inflation and ignore any market coercion. If inflation runs out of control, then everything collapses, not just stock markets. US inflation was 7% in December, any Central Bank not acting on that figure, are just going to feed the inflation beast. A double digit correction is preferable to hyperinflation, and the markets will probably recover once the markets get used to interest rate rises. Pain today, or armageddon tomorrow?
Boris Johnson has confirmed Fully vaccinated travellers flying into England will no longer require Covid-19 tests Today’s announcement provides a welcome boost to the travel industry and UK economy
I often wonder in times like these, where the money raised from selling goes? No returns keeping it in a bank so presumably it sits on the side lines awaiting a lower entry point?

"It's carnage out there, bro. Panic is spreading like wildfire.
Inflation, interest rates, bad quarterly results, Boris on the brink, new stealth Omicron, Ukraine war, Russian ships off Cornwall. Problems stacking up like a game of Jenga."
Fortunately retail investors, like me, don't have to sell their stocks at times like this. The panic is amongst the fund managers, trying to preserve the current financial year gains. It's only January, so a month or two to go to recover their losses on recent declines. Should the NASDAQ slide into Bear market territory, which is only 3% away, and the declines are sustained into mid February, then we'll see some proper panic on the faces of guests on CNBC and Bloomberg lol.

S&P now down -11% from its high, officially in correction territory.
Nasdaq = -18%
S&P = -11%
Dow = -8%
FTSE = -4%
Carnage out there.
Let's agree to disagree. I'm not saying it'll all go into US stockmarket. It'll go into Treasuries and the Dollar. This has been so for 35 years at least. No reason why not again.
In any case we are in for some (short term) pain. No need to panic.
"I used to be a Fund Manager fleccy going back to the mid 1980s. This has always been so. I recall the 1987 'Crash'.. my U.S. Bank's Portfolios came out very well (down 0.25% against the market's 25% on some of its worse days) because we had moved into Treasuries and Dollars beforehand."
You could be right, but the current markets have been exceptionally different to the markets in the 1980's. The US markets are already effectively de-coupled as demonstrated by the 5 year chart I posted previously. There was no Crypto, or FAANG type stocks back in the 80's either. The NASDAQ has a late 1990's feel, Crypto baffles me as I see absolutely no value in it, and irrespective of the recent decline in the Banks, climbing interest rates should eventually push the Banks up. I'm ignoring the current fall in Lloyds, and expect the price to be over 60p before the end of 2022.
It isn't a foregone conclusion that all the cash will pile into US Treasuries, or the Dollar, since Yield is important to many Funds, and expensive Treasuries wont be a good investment.
US, UK and Australia today starting to empty their embassies in Kiev. If Vlad goes on his winter holiday to Ukraine in the next week or two, markets are not gonna like it...=============================
Indeed the added dilemma here is that even when after the drop US indexes will reach good support/valuation, there will be still the risk of a war on Europe door steps....which iom in not priced in yet.
The S&P 500 is set to enter a correction phase after the benchmark fell for a fifth day...
DYOR

As predicted, Nasdaq on the brink of a bear collapse, now down -18% in 2 months.
