    And the "3% rise" first thing this morning seems to be progressively fading away

    All this is speculation about speculation on the expectation of the impact of the expected stimulus......tosses coin....

    Indeed! And tomorrow something else might happen to make indices rise or fall by any magnitude. So all this discussion is pointless. We should all have our own strategy based on our risk tolerance levels (based on the financial facts of our situations, not gut instinct), and just stick to that. If your strategy is "buy" or "sell" based on micro-movements of the indices then good luck to you! If your strategy is sit tight and keep on drip feeding then good luck to you too!

    Look at the VIX.

    VIX measures volatility, and hence uncertainty. Whether the panic is over depends on whether you were panicking in the first place or not.

    America going down the pan again. Brilliant. Will have to get a job at this rate. Looks like there may be a demand for undertakers.

    I'm calling 2345 on the S&P500 as the low.   I will panic after that :)

    It looks almost deliberate.
