Triple witching days happen four times a year on the third Friday of March, June, September and December. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as "freaky Friday". Investopedia Says... The final trading hour for that Friday is the hour known as triple witching. The markets are quite volatile in this final hour, as traders quickly offset their option/futures orders before the closing bell. If you are a long-term investor, triple witching will have a minimal impact on you. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 392987 ![]() 03/20/2008 12:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Street is net short. To unwind, they need to buy to cover shorts. But then they will just need to lay in to open up their unwound positions. Traders need to trade, 'tis their mandate. The long term trend is down. The Fed has been cutting interest rates like crazy. Everytime you got spectacular one day rallies that fizzle. You might want to say the Fed has kept the market from a total melt down so far. Eventually the Dow breaks 1150. If it's like the 74-75 bear, the Dow loses 50% and goes to 7000 - the 2003 bottom. If it's like 1929-1933, the Dow will go to 1400. |

Quoting: Serious DoomThey drive a hard bargain! I think you did a good job. :) Yeah seriously, this day it will end with at least +200 Quoting: Serious Doom in other threadI think people have overlooked the 'at least' part. And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music. |

And So It Begins.... User ID: 283365 ![]() 03/20/2008 05:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Unlike what many would think, tomorrow, the 18 the Dow will raise, it will actually be a huge improvement (probably the fed will do something big) and some people will get deceived by it and think "all is fine" Quoting: Serious DoomBut the 19th, the drop will begin again, and the 20th before good Friday the stock market will be thrown back to reality, it will be quite catastrophic. My hint is but stocks today, but make sure to sell them after the 19th, cause you are not likely to find another chance to sell high after that. THIS MARKET IS EXHIBITING THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS AS IT DID IN 2000. SERIOUS GAINS AND SERIOUS PULLBACKS COUPLED WITH HUGE VOLATILITY. THE HUGE GAIN THE OTHER DAY WAS ON LOW VOLUME....IT WAS A HUGE HEADFAKE. YESTERDAY THE WATER WAS PULLING BACK TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. TODAY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR A FINANCIAL MEGA-TSUNAMI!

Lemoning User ID: 396171 ![]() 03/20/2008 09:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do think whomever you are "serious doom" (strange name) the market will decline today. Without looking at the cnn money predictions of a "rebound" the Asian markets are seriously down. Now I know we don't follow the Asian markets to the T, but we've been too green this week to let the worlds manufacturers be the only ones in the red. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 335844Today will be bad. It should be. There is no reason to be green. I agree, there's no reason for the markets to be green today, and the fed cant exactly cut interest rates again. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 335844 ![]() 03/20/2008 09:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | haha Now CNN is saying all of a sudden, "futures are down because of oil and unemployment reports." haha Whether it's this new age hocus pocus or aging, I can tell the media is false a mile away. I tried to tell you all last night about today, but I'm banned at home. I might, might bypass the ban, but I'll post from work for the time being. I was hoping there would be a statute of limitations for being banned. I'm not really that scarry. Anyhow, CNN money is a joke. Within 5 minutes they changed from a positive open to being in the red. |
