Oh, the irony. https://www.infowars.com/mexico-is-considering-closing-its-border-to-stop-americans-bringing-coronavirus-into-its-country-as-us-case-count-passes-2000/

That and the fact the most rallies start with short covering. Considering this/any rally to be short covering usually is of no value. IF a bear market has started, you might expect this "short covering" rally to go about 500-600 points in the S&P. It already did about half of that Friday...

The revenooers and players have become conditioned to, "enough stimulus... cheap money at low enough rates"... fixes everything. Too bad the government didn't think to print money during the Great Plague (which ran for 4 years and killed half the population of Europe).

Trump's dream defense budget. :(

Yeah, fat chance. There have been several considerations of the US having a balanced budget and living withing those spending confines. In each case the notion has been defeated. IOW... the Federal government always wants "more"... something for "free". (deficit spending). No difference in...

Virus likely means, "slow down all around". Many businesses don't have the resources to whether it. Opportunities for those with cash.

KISS explanation... Fed pumping liquidity is bullish for stocks. Players sell their bonds to have money to buy stocks.

Best would be to make some money on the decline if you can... but otherwise keep capital intact until the markets wash out. The taxes paid then to convert will be less than the capital losses of "riding it out". It's not like Congress to grant us peons such an opportunity as the Roth*. All...

If one is a B&H'er, better strategy is to wait for the bear market to end before the conversion. Same exact reason + all of your paper losses will have effectively been tax deductible.

The Chinese CB/Govt has done one form or another in stimulus... at least 20 times over the last months/year.

I'm leaving open the possibility. 1. There is usually "one bigger dip before the final high"... though this decline seems too large to be identified as that. 2. The big bottoms trend line since 2009, is still intact. 3. Assuming the 12/2018 low to be the start of a 5th wave, it doesn't...

Still might be. A retest of the highs would be a good candidate for a short...

No sense of humor?

I once bought a burrito for a filthy homeless girl...

1. Gold isn't the "haven against adversity" gold-believers hope it is.... only seems like it at times. 2. When the markets get into this negative psychology, gold goes down with it to a degree.

True. Can't eat them Kruggerands!

Nope. Not yet.

The point of this thread has apparently eluded you.

Um... no. If you take your 10-lot and spread it around, it's still only 10.

Yes... I saw a thingy which tracks, "number of contracts within 1 point of current bid/ask".. as a yardstick of participation and liquidity. Currently, very low historically. Meaning, "big money has backed off".
