With two moderate to severe drops last Thursday and Friday, depending on the market (Japan was severe last Thursday), we're looking at some grim futures ahead.

Question is, do we buy the dip and return to near highs again?
Or
Will we get another 8 percent trim before it's done?

Opinions welcome.

Just the next couple of days. A continuation of the last couple of days.
I'm mainly looking for more informed opinions than my own. I'm a sponge.

Wish I could help you with predictions like this. I would be retired by now.

Markets just absorbing BOJ decision from last Thursday.

Investors will soon realize strengthening yen/weakening dollar good for all risk assets.

Don't fight the Fed.

And oh btw, Fed isn't tightening any time soon (regardless of what talking heads think). Remember yuan is pegged to dollar. Dollar strengthening = yuan strengthening and Chinese are trying to stimulate. Not tighten. Look at last Aug and this Jan. Fed gets it now.

Enjoy the ride.

I don't think there are any futures makets open right now FWIW. You're probably looking at last Friday.

I am thinking the Nikkei will drop another 2-4% as they were closed Friday.

Russia, China, and the UK are closed Monday.

Damn, Japan is down about 4%.

What a mess they've created over there.
