Capitulation

What does it Mean? A military term. Capitulation refers to surrendering or giving up.

In the stock market, capitulation is associated with "giving up" any previous gains in stock price as investors sell equities in an effort to get out of the market and into less risky investments. True capitulation involves extremely high volume and sharp declines. It usually is indicated by panic selling.
Investopedia Says... After capitulation selling, it is thought that there are great bargains to be had. The belief is that everyone who wants to get out of a stock, for any reason (including forced selling due to margin calls), has sold. The price should then, theoretically, reverse or bounce off the lows. In other words, some investors believe that true capitulation is the sign of a bottom.

Could be near the floor, get ready to dive in.

Ftse down 200 points is that correct the way its going 3000 by Friday.. a complete disaster.

You are suggesting people dive into three inches of water from the high boardI am afraid I am blind .but I can see!

My cash is ready to buy, could be this week if the FTSE crashes below 3000 if it crashes to 1,000 you wont need any cash as it will be the end as we know it. Could be like Mad Max movie God hope the hoodies will not rule the UK.

Not if you have some cash it ain't Mitzy )-:

Where is the bottom Stan..?

How long is a piece of string? truth is no body knows.

How long is a skinheads haircut?

a # 1 !

well I reckon it could fall 30% from here.

thats nothing as its fallen 660p from last year

failed to hold on to its days gains its a traders share not for investors will be 42p this week .

Problem is the Dow could go to 6500 or less and the Ftse to 2700 in the next 12 /18 months.

Mitzy : Bold predictions indeed ! Not quite sure how you arrive at theses figures, but have a good idea. Trust that you will return to this board on Friday to accept the accolades....or otherwise admit that you are a total prat.

I am a prat yes indeed annie.lol.

Big falls today but RBS is holding steady.

the fall is not that much less than with the other clearers ..... it's just because the base price is already so low

With price at 57.5p who is going to take up the offer at 65.5p.

I brought in at 197p, not one of my brightest ideas, but will try and find a trading range to trade my way out of position. 45p to 65p may be possible?

A new low today.
