re: gloabal market crash, thing of the past...
Ewebute: in reply to your soliloquy, I too attach much importance (perhaps too much, some might say) to the Dow Jones effect, & I am surprised at this morning's strength here on the ASX.
but to suggest that you can predict future movements in the Dow by superimposing charts, unfortunately that is wishful thinking. the Dow has been known to turn on a dime, without warning & for no reason. it would be unwise to base ones planning on the Dow alone. regardless gold, currencies, interest rates, debt & all the other paraphernalia. uncle sam may be fat & stupid, but he is still the boss and the world knows it.
the only way to handle this market with any degree of safety, is to stay out of it for a while.
