The Stock Market Is Crashing: 1,000 Point Wipeout Marks The Beginning Of A Major Financial Nightmare

The U.S. Stock Market Crash is accelerating at a breathtaking speed – and a 1,000-point flash wipeout indicates that the beginning of a historic financial nightmare is already here. Is this “the Big One”? Wall Street is asking. Last week, the stock market has faced extensive losses, and investors are worried about what will happen when markets open this week, as fears of a massive drag down in the S&P 500 continue to rise.
On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve might have started to realize that it made a colossal policy mistake over the past decade. As its benchmark interest rate rose by 50 basis points to help fight soaring inflation, Wall Street investors went into full panic mode. The largest single-day stock market crash ever recorded occurred on Thursday, at a time when stock prices had already fallen quite dramatically. On Thursday, all the major indexes faced a brutal shock.  
Days before the flash crash, stocks were melting up – an expression used to describe the moment when indexes are trending lower but some bubble stocks are still being propped higher as speculators anticipate further losses. On Wednesday, all the indexes recorded strong gains - only to lose all of them and some more over the next trading session.  “If you go up 3% and then you give up half a percent the next day, that’s pretty normal stuff. But having the kind of day we had [on Wednesday], and then seeing it 100% reversed within half a day is just truly extraordinary,” said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. 
The trigger that prompted investors to rush for the exits was the simple realization that the Fed will not back down from its tightening plan. Worse, they're noticing that corporate CEOs don’t know what to do to hide the slower pace of growth and flatlining earnings. Given the extraordinary amount of leverage in the market right now, rapid declines can set off wave after wave of forced selling. In fact, if we take a look at the latest trends, this appears to be already taking place to a certain degree. And when stocks reach this point, there’s no turning back. It will certainly not take a lot of effort for this “market slide” to evolve into a “market avalanche”. 
According to Bank of America’s chief investment strategist, Michael Hartnett, we’re at the beginning of a bear market that will extend well into October, with the S&P at 3,000. The expert compiled some useful information. Over the past 140 years, we witnessed 9 bear markets, with average price declines of 37.3%. The average duration of those declines was of 289 days. Even though past performance is not always a guide to future performance, “if it were, today's bear market would extend until October 19th, with the S&P 500 at 3,000, Nasdaq at 10,000,” he wrote.
His gloomy predictions don’t stop right there. The strategist argues that the carnage is going to pick up speed as inflation hits 10% and growth nears zero. For a long time, stock prices were able to defy economic reality. Many of these bubbles certainly defied gravity. But now they’re deflating, and as economic conditions rapidly deteriorate all around us, the party seems to be almost over. Trillions of dollars are gone, but Wall Street is still failing to realize that what we have been through so far is just a warm-up act. The clock is ticking, and what happened on Thursday should be a major wake-up call for all of us to prepare for what’s coming next.

Being successful don' t happen by magic Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 700 guaranteed.

The market crash prediction has been going for months now, imagine if you've invested heavily then. The truth is no one actually knows if the crash is gonna happen. some said it will happen immediately after the election, hello we're done with the election now. You just have to invest smartly . I'm glad it worked for me with the help of an investment advisor, I recently added my $135k profits to my portfolio.

The fin-Markets have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stocks and bonds. My $400, 000 portfolio is down by approximately 25%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before will be highly appreciated.

It's been 3 months of selling. Now after 3 days of low volume pump, fundamentals & inflation are turning more negative, people think this is the bottom and everything is somehow great. This is a typical bear market rally.

Thursday was the worse day in the stock market since tomorrow.

This is the kind of world we've made for ourselves and our children, better have no enemies when the light goes out, due to the economic criss, wars and rate of unemployment I think now is the best time to invest and make more money for the future.

"So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam. And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fuck up me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy foxes and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same." - John Tuld, The Margin Call -
