Stock Exchange Places

Hi everyone,

You may have heard these past days, that regarding stocks, the Dow Jones, the DAX beat their highest historic records... the FTSE is still behind them!
The media also claimed France beat its records.... Yes but the record of 2013!!! LOL

For those who think French stock investments provide shameful outcomes despite the crisis, I'd respond that the crisis is well here, that French decline is well here.

Here's the history of the CAC40 (French index):
That means today's level is approximately half the high point of September 4, 2000!
Though picked up today from France-Inflation, the Parisian SE reached the wall of 4000 points last Friday (the graph uses average monthly values)
I repeat: "the crisis is well here, that French decline is well here."

I'd add that DJ reaching the level of 2000 just means the econimical US lost twelve and a half years (and France far more)!!

Hi everyone,

Another graph:

With our 4,000 points, we're well far from the historical 6945!!

Fortunately, it's gonna re-start!

Hi everyone,

As a comparison, below is the Dow Jones since 1913 (linear ordinate):
Can you see a difference with the CAC 40 these years? Can you see the French crisis?

Hi everyone,

A few links to illustrate the high point since July 2011 of the French indice:

-> (L'Expansion) La Bourse de Paris défie la récession et passe le cap des 4000 points
-> (Libé) Revenue à 4.000 points, la Bourse de Paris va tenter de garder le cap

Hi everyone,

The French market holds its route: up 0,50%: enough for the moment; fyrthermore, my own lines beat the indice today


If a member wants explanations or to write remarks, I'm a passionate of stocks and can answer them.
As we are on the English forum, I'd be very happy to have a long and interesting conversation.

Hi everyone,

I do like Americans (as everyone here knows) but I like them in America !

Monday May 27 is a holiday in the States so that the stock exchange in Paris will not be a t work!!

~~ edit
Mai 27 is a double-Holiday:

Monday May 27 Memorial Day National holiday
Monday May 27 Jefferson Davis Birthday State holiday Mississippi

When I helped my mother write her biography, I took interest to the stock exchange ups and downs because it was my mother's main hobby.

I remember 1982 when the the Dow Jonnes was climbing until "black monday" in 1987 (The Americans had called this period : bull market) My mother was very happy and created an investment club. She kept telling me that when the left is in power the Dow jone is high.

I also remember that the Dow jone hit its all-time high on October 9, 2007, closing at 14,164.43. unfortunately Less than 18 months later, it had fallen more than 50% to 6,594.44 on March 5, 2009.
But the great depression in 1929 was worse but my mother was only nine and not yet interested

Hi Muriel,

They use this expression for any going up period.

the Dow jone hit its all-time high on October 9, 2007, closing at 14,164.43.

The DJ recently beat the high score (and established another one).
The DJ is at its all-time high.
The CAC40 is around 4.000 against a historic high point of about 7.500 (-47 %).
ie
In the US, the market "did nothing" for 6 years (just catching up with the record).
In France, the market lost half its value within the last 6 years... that's why I asked "Can you see the French crisis?"

Bugger!!
I heard somewhere the Stock Exchange of Paris wasn't open on Monday but it's open!!

Hi everyone,

Shall I be joyful (as I can buy at low rate)?
Shall I be desperate (as I lost oodles of money)?

After 67% last week, the stock exchange in Paris is plumetting.

Bonjour à tous,

Si le sujet vous intéresse, il y a des bizarreries sur le graphe du CAC aujourd'hui !!!


Mais que s'est-il passé entre 14h35 et 16h00 ?
Mais qui est-ce qui s'amuse ?

Est-ce que ça serait les ordinateurs qui maintenant gèrent les achats/ventes qui s'affolent, avant qu'un super ordi rétablisse la situation (car par le passé, tous les ordinateurs réagissaient de la même manière et créaient de grosses fluctuations = de grosses chutes avant de grosses remontées, sur plusieurs jours) ?

C'était la même chose hier !!!

Mon titre "Les apprentis sorciers..." a été mis car, dans ma tête, malgré les discours des gouvernants européens déclarant (presque) tous que l'organisation de la finance mondiale va être remise au pas, il s'avère que ces gouvernants se sont montrés impuissants car la partie émergente de "la finance mondiale" a bien été mise au pas mais elle ne représente plus la totalité de l'activité financière ; au final, ce n'est donc qu'une partie qui a été mise sous contrôle et une "finance grise" est plus que jamais à l'oeuvre et incontrôlable !

Effectivement, c'est le b...
