Dow at 17,000. What's more likely to happen first: it drops to 15,000 or continues to 20,000?

LVS has been getting pounded. Some support around. 45 but that's from years ago. Like ERI better in that space

This is an off the wall prediction but I could see Apple buying a big automaker like Ford or GM within the next 3-5 years. Designing a car is one thing but the supply chain takes 6-7 years to build and they have no industry knowledge of how to do so. They have 200M in cash and Ford is valued at 60 so it wouldn't be a big leap as implausible as it does sound.

If that happened it would likely be at a solid 20-30% premium to their stock price at the given time.

I read yesterday where APPLE might be starting an entire new auto division.
Some people say they already have the first prototype already build just 4 miles from headquarters.
Its a self driving car.

Have no idea if its true or not but there are stories floating around google from semi reliable sources.

[h=2]2016 has already been the bleakest start to a year for stocks in at least quarter century.[/h]China's crashing stock market and cheap oil are seriously spooking the markets. The latest scare came on Thursday as China's stock market crashed 7% overnight, losses so severe that trading had to be halted for the day after the first half hour.

The Dow plunged as many as 375 points on Thursday. The S&P 500is down 2%, while the Nasdaq dropped 2.6%.
The losses leave the Dow down 5% so far this year. It's on track for its worst four-day start to a year since at least 1991, according to FactSet.
"This has all the earmarks of the beginning of a significant stock market correction. Many would argue it's the beginning of a bear market," Tim Anderson, managing director of MND Partners, wrote in a client note.

"what difference does it make"?

I used to think it was a sign of economic growth, now I know it's just a prop

It will be interesting to see what happens when the Chinese markets open, seeing as how they had a whole bunch of people who wanted to sell and were unable to because of the closure of the market. They said they would not stop trading again because it just made the situation worse, but who knows?

Just dumped 46K in tonight. Probably like trying to catch a falling knife, but we shall see.

I bought in the last big dump in August and have been nibbling again on this drop. Lots of ominous clouds but who the hell knows

The extreme gyrations and media pumping collapse make me think we are closer to the bottom then the top
