Dow Jones going south towards the psychologically important 9000

Options
At the time of writing this, the Dow Jones Index is at 9801.54

When or if it drops to 9000, that's probably when everyone dumps their stock at any price. Then the pin is out of the grenade.

    It really feels like capitulation TODAY, the Vix is showing mid 50s and people are already throwing in the towel, US treasuries are hot. I am hoping Dunstoh is right about fund managers being able to mitigate losses on th way down compared to Trackers, somehow I doubt it (they just charge more).

  • Unless they do nothing or the market bounces back just as quick then they wont be as bad as a tracker

    Fair Dinkum Kittie, the market dropped just below 9600 and has bounced off that level (at least for the moment).

    Selling at this point in a crash has previously been a mugs game, as the saying goes ' If you are going to panic, PANIC EARLY. Then again 'It may be different this time'
