is the stock market about to have a major correction?

If I knew the answer to that, I could become a multi-millionaire this year. The main negative for the stock market is rising interest rates as they have a negative impact on consumer spending. On the other hand rising interest rates are supporting the value of the dollar because they are attracting foreign money.  \n\nAt some point consumers will not be able to continue spending more than they make. They have been doing this for the last six or seven years. When this happens--perhaps later this year, perhaps not--the chickens will come home to roost.

No, that led to all kinds of perversions of market forces in the past. Liquidity is also an issue. \n\nIf it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Ajay, you must first mention which market are u r referring to..I can guess ( by your name) you are asking abt Indian Sensex.\n\nAnyways now that the F&O settlement is over, we can see some buying and markets will increase this week.

The direction of the index is an indication of whether fear or greed is predominating in the country. Right now it appears the fear is becoming more dominant than greed. The index has fallen below the 50 day moving average and is approaching the 200 day moving average. \n\nThe same can be said for the Dow-Jones average. \n\nAs the average falls, people become more fearful and tend to cut back on their expenses, especially discretionary spending. That in turn effects the economy. \n\nThe effect on the U S economy is more difficult to predict and I fear that I am not up to that task.

the market doesn't move in a straight line there will be a bounce. traders think the market is oversold so there should be an array of buying oppoptunities. Spyders might be a good short term play this week. Symbol- SPY

Analysts are saying that the market will say strong.  Since it has been on a steady rise a large amount of people are hoping the market will fall.  However, it will probably remain stable for the next 5-10 years while steadily going up and leveling off and then hopefully dropping.

Yes, I read in the WSJ that there will be one coming soon.  Unfortunately, it will be too inflated initially to get in.  I suggest you hold off -

I think a lot of steam is left in Indian Stock Market..We have seen the tremendous "Bull-Run" in past few months..I believe its not just the charge of Bulls, but it has a fundamental base as Indian Economy is growing in all the sectors and not just limited to IT in which we still have command over the world..Now the whole world is watching India as a great opportunity..However we have stiff competitions from China in some sectors..but still India has a great future ahead..\nHowever at this point of time one need to be very careful regarding Stock Market..we may see some corrections but again one should use that as opportunity..At present buying is happening not only from FIIs but our own Indian Institutional Buying is making a lot of difference..n also retail investors have a great share of it..Huge buying by Mutual funds has also boost up a lot of confidence in the market..time to time actions taken by SEBI (as recently in DMAT scam) has also played a great role to boost the confidence of the investors..\nSo be cautious, move with the steam of market n use the opportunity carefully..Indian Stock Market has a long way to go..

Sorry, I'm a U.S. investor.\n\nBut you better hold off on that question until this Downtrend shakes out. Today was a Reversal Day, and we should get a bounce here. The strength and breadth of this rally should tell us what to do.\n\nWerever your money is parked, it's going to look pretty good when everyone else is complaining about losses in stocks.\n\nGood luck.

It sure can be. Ive studied it off and on for awhile. Lots of different angles to using the stock market. Depends on the person. \n\nGet a few books, study up on the angles that particular person used and how it worked for them. Figure out what you feel comfy with.

The gold market is suppost be a good investment right now.  Supposidly capable of even doubling in the near future.  But like any other stock investment nothing is for sure.

Probably.  Let's, from late 2001 go now (about 5 year), the Sensex grew from about 2600 to 13,616 - 11,016 points.  The Dow 30 took 18 years to grow 11,000 points.  When markets have spectacular run ups like that, the corrections are just as spectacular.  Read about the U.S. stock market crash of 1929.  Get the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay.  No market can keep such a pace.  At that pace the Sensex should be at 71,211 by 2011 and 372,437 by 2016.  Does that sound normal to you?\n\nI believe the Sensex will have to correct.  When and by how much is anyones guess, but I believe the crash will be as spectacular as the run up over the past 5 years.

If you are asking this question now, then you really need to learn more about fundamental and technical analysis. Motorola showed a definite downturn signal on 17 Oct... a grand evening star signal, ADX showing a bearish dominance for the first time in 2 months, MACD increasing in downside momentum, a break below its 30MA and subsequently its 50MA... these are definite and undisputable signs. At that point, every technical strategist would have bailed out or at least taken half profit. \n\nYou are in a state of panic because of your complete lack of investing knowledge. What you need now is really to polish up on your investment knowledge before you commit any more money to the markets.\n\nI have been a technical swing trader for the past 11 years and retired at 28 years old. If you are curious about my trading method, please visit http://www.mastersoequity.com \n\nRemember, the more knowledge you have, the lower the risk and the faster you will get richer.\n\n\n\nHope these helps.\n\n\n.

Well all the indicators clearly show we are in a cyclical bull market, and we are testing new floors which are consistently higher than the previous.\n\nCertainly those who are treating this as a bull market are gaining, while those who are treating it as a bear market are losing. This does not stop the bad news bears talking down the market, because they need this to recover.\n\nSo having said that and understanding that objectively we can prove we are in a market that is currently growing. The question which is more subjective I guess is, is it growing fast enough? This debate will still be dogged with partisan pitches and probably is irrelevent.\n\nBottom line, right now is that with the inidicators where they are, a diversified investment into the US markets (and so economy) is going to yield positive returns, with I think the S&P comfortably capable of hitting 1400 in the first half of this year.
