    tomarrow the market will open lower and will either tank and rebound or will continue to drift lower slowly

    and please stop talking about these subprimes — these are the media scientific explanations

    the market is in a downtrend, at least couple of months

    Edit: I see, sort sellers braging themselves/herself, welcome to the club, we are the real bears of this market !!

    Logically only those companies that are making the subprime loans should be effected at all. Of course the markets are not logical so everything tanks for a while. Except for people who paid too much much in the last year or two no one is really losing money on their house either.

    Your question has no answer. sorry! The market just goes with what ever the bears want it to right now. It could go to zero or it could sky rocket tomarrow which both are highly unlikely but zero looks great to me I would love to buy at that.

    Just guessing, but I would say about 2.04% overall.

    Hey! That's about what the U.S. market did today, March 13. What a coincidence!

    It doesn't seem to me that Sub prime lending is really at the bottom of it all. The entire world market is on a down swing and there aren't sub prime lending institutions behaving the same as they are in the U.S. around the world.

    Just something I noticed about today's market…the most capitalistic countries had the greatest fall and the countries that are more socialistic had slight gains. Sweden, Norway and Hong Kong (China) had slight gains…Japan and other capitalistic countries took a sharp down turn.

    I wonder if the world is losing faith (monetarily speaking) in capitalism. I'm new at studying the market and just speculate on what it all means…I'm no authority but usually have some pretty good intuition.

    I really wonder what is happening here. I am one who would stand to gain a LOT if the market went way, way down.

    The subprime lending debacle is only one of the indicators that a bear market is looming in the offing. When looking at the markets over a longer term period, I have to believe that the good times are coming to an end.

    Google, a market leader over the past few years, is close to breaking down. The homebuilders, another former leader, have collapsed. Semiconductors never really rallied much off the bottom of 5 years ago. Oil stocks look toppy on the long-term charts. Walmart looks sick and will be a short if it falls below 40. Home Depot looks sick. Microsoft never rallied much over the past 5 years and will be a short if it falls below 20. Even the gold stocks, the darlings of the dollar bears, don't look very appealing.

    I think we've seen the top and all rallies should be sold.
