Will Dow Repeat 1987's Post-Thanksgiving Decline?


The biggest decline on the day after Thanksgiving came in 1987 when the index fell 1.87%. At that point, markets were still digesting the October '87 crash, and the Dow went on to fall 8.76% in the week after Thanksgiving.

Today, Dow had its second biggest decline the day after Thanksgiving (November 27 2009) since it became an official federal holiday in 1941.

Source: B.I.G.


Dow fell 1.27% on a half-day trading session on November 27 2009.

Is the market still digesting the Dubai Shock, while most key market players were still on holiday?

When all key market players are back on Monday, November 30 2009, what will happen?

A repeat of 1987 "stock market crash" after Thanksgiving?



Remember what happened in 2008: "first it was Bear Sterns, then Countrywide Financial a few months later. And then all of sudden, it was Citibank, Merrill Lynch, AIG and others as the banking system started to heamorrhage."



So is this Dubai Shock the start of the next economic or financial crisis?

LIFE@55 - What CPFB Don't Tell You!

Image
CPFB started to talk about Risk Pooling only in April 2019 after being queried at Parliament. They have never talked about Risk Pooling since CPF Life was introduced, not even in any Life@55 Talks! Do you know are there other important information CPFB is still not telling you at Life@55 or @facebook? In the past (eg 2014), members have to decide/choose their CPF Life Plan (ie Standard vs Basic) at 55 and part-CPF Life annuity premiums would be deducted from their Retirement Account (RA) for transfer to the CPF Life Pool. Only at 65 when monthly payout starts will the reminder of the CPF Life annuity premiums be transferred from RA to CPF Life Pool. For members turning 55 after July 2015, they only need to choose their CPF Life Plan (ie Standard, Basic or Escalating Plan) if they decide to start payout at 65 or delay till 70. Most members will choose their CPF Life Plan based on guidelines provided by CPFB as follows: Choose Standard Plan if you want more monie...
