Ministry for Prophecy, Dreams and VisionsHas the stock market bottomed?
From: D&V List Nos.1312 and 1313

Dreamer: Paula
Background:
I bought a couple of stocks in Australia’s stock market’s dips last Wednesday and Thursday. There was an upturn on Friday. There has been a lot of speculation about what the market would do next relative to what would happen with Lehman Brothers and damage from Hurricane Ike in America. There was also the issue of political tension between Russia and NATO with regards to freedom of democracy in Georgia including former states of the Soviet Union and energy supply to Europe. Many nations were still wrestling with high inflation, credit crunch and slowing economy.
Dream on 14 September, 2008
SCENE 1
I was in charge of a vehicle like a van on a dark and cloudy day. It had a sheltered and an unsheltered section at the back which was now like the carriage back of a truck. I had to shift some goods from the unsheltered to the sheltered part of the back of the truck because I was expecting it to rain. It was going to be a long drive to my destination.
** Most likely the van that became a truck represented the growing share portfolio that I was managing for my son. The van depicted his own foray into the stock market in 2006 to 2007 in a small way and without borrowed money. From early 2008 he borrowed money to set up a more significant portfolio that I helped to manage (depicted by the truck).
** The dark and cloudy day portrayed stock market decline into a bear market (more than 20% fall) from November 2007 from which there was need for protection (I had to shift some goods from the unsheltered to the sheltered part of the back of the truck). We have a long term strategy for the portfolio that helped smooth over the volatility of dips and a couple of bear market recoveries along the way (It was going to be a long drive to my destination).
AFTER the event interpretation:
The van (that carries goods) represents the stock market (that carries equities for buying and selling). It turned into a truck that carried goods exposed to the elements that needed to be taken under the sheltered part of the back of the truck. This counselled for folks to seek shelter for their investments in equities exposed to the ongoing credit crunch contagion. The dark and cloudy day portrayed the stock market downturn escalation that began on Monday 15 September, 2008.
Perceiving that the market must bottom before recovery, I told my son for encouragement that the market should bottom this week. Here, my attention was on Scene 2 of the dream. I still regard my personalized interpretation of Scene 2 below as still relevant from a bottom to the market that would take place shortly. We understand that trending upward still involves downturns but the bottom of down turns also trend upward.
SCENE 2
Now it was a bright and clear day and I was in charge of a bright, clean and newish looking bus that was about to leave the airport. I was amazed to be given the responsibility of the bus as I had not driven a bus before. I had no choice but to drive it and learn along the way.
My task was to drive the bus to another town some distance away. As the bus made its way down the exit ramp of the airport, I had to quickly familiarize myself with the controls. I could move a lever on the floor with my foot which gave me control of either the brakes or the gears.
I made sure that the bus was going at a slow enough speed for me to learn to drive along the way. In driving slowly I would hold up traffic somewhat until I could control the bus properly. Then I could flow with the traffic. It was going to be slow at first in this long journey. There was no panic but just a calm and confident acceptance of my predicament and responsibility.
** The bright and clear day of scene 2 that contrasted with the dark and cloudy one in scene1 depicted outlook for a bright turnaround in the stock market that will now trend upward (airport where flights are made to destinations). Up to helping my son manage his share portfolio during the downturn, I have no prior practical experience; only self education mainly from newspapers and business television stations. It will now be a bright and new experience for me to manage the portfolio on a sustained upward trend. (I was amazed to be given the responsibility of the bus as I had not driven a bus before. I had no choice but to drive it and learn along the way)
AFTER the event additional interpretation:
The event: Wall Street has had its worst one day stock market fall since 9/11 on Monday 15 September, 2008 and the free-fall continued into the next couple of days prompting emergency high level intervention.
We saw that the van and truck portrayed progressively different aspects of the stock market in a cloudy and dark day. Thus the subsequent bright, clean and newish looking bus forecasted how some grand new event was going to be manifested on a clear and bright day for the market. This turned out to be USA Federal Government’s $700 billion US dollars announced bailout of the financial crisis, suspension of short selling and inevitable regulations to shore up security for the future.
