Japan stock market crash
« on: August 05, 2024, 08:03:24 AM »
The Nikkei fell over 12% in one day, the worst since 1987. US stock are opening sharply lower but not nearly that sharply. NASDAQ futures are currently down over 5%. There is a pessimism in the market that wasn’t there several weeks ago. The upside is that treasury yields have fallen sharply and that means mortgage rates have lowered considerably. Looks like a bit of a roller coaster ride in the near term.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

30 year Mortgage rates are down from a high of 7.8% or so to around 6.4% today. That’s a mortgage payment $1000 a month cheaper on your average new townhouse with 20% down. Nothing to sneeze at.

You will either be a genius for calling the bottom or a fool for trying to catch a falling knife. Take your pick. If you have money on the sidelines, dollar cost average is the prudent way to go in times of volatility.

"catching a falling knife" comes to mind
