29 minutes ago: Coronavirus finally levels off in locations outside China

[MKTrader]

For now. You understand that it's being imported back into China the same way it left China right? It's coming full circle. The virus isnt going to be nearly as bad as the panic that's going to come.

That's wild conjecture. I'm talking about actual data (mainland China graph). You'd hope "traders" and sophisticated investors would know the difference, but I guess not.

The bulls lack empathy and clarity because they are not experiencing the pandemic first hand and see this as an opportunistic buying opportunity. That's their downfall in this instance. They are so used to trying to out-game other investors on political and economic issues that this is unfamiliar territory for them.

apparently not... traders are mostly just losers living in moms apartments lol.

this is the whole point with shaking things up -using the media machine to pound on the fragile nerves of the public.

I mean if the risk is not painted real, why would the weak hands actually give up.

but, for now - smart people are gonna see thru it.... this one is too easy of a nothing burger to see thru.

the stupid people can't be educated.

but - this aint gonna last long.... the 2018 shake was more real, the inflation scare may actually last a long time.

this is a f'cking flu, even if you try to spread it, it will blow over with a bunch of dead bodies in its path... people try to quarantine or not, ain't gonna make a whole lot of difference, in terms how it peaks and dies out.

From the way youre posting, You must be getting killed in your positions. Aren't you the same guy screaming buy the dip when we were near highs?

this is why I also tell people about Buffett's rule.... only buy enough stock so that you can sleep well with 50% down.... search my old posts, used many times.

'killed' is relative.... to the peanut account traders on ET, yeah my peak to trough in the past corrections have been around 7 digits, but 2 things

- this would be peanuts comparing to the big whales right? so killed or not it's all relative;
- I don't see as market working against me.... the market does what it does... as I have posted, be ONE with the market, it is doing the cleansing for me.
- Do not ever think you can out smart it... times like this is when some peanut traders popping up on ET showing off their 4-digit profit from some short positions, these are f'cking laughable losers who has nothing.
- you want to make it big you have to play big. Warren and Charlie, in their own words, have seen their portfolio cut in half at least twice in their investment career.... you think with the resources they have, they can out smart the market and perhaps dodge these 50% downs?
- again, think BIG, play BIG, which means when the market is cleansing for you, you need to look at these swings just like a number, there is nothing killing you or against you, it's just a number.

@dozu888, a humble suggestion: You are not going to win the argument or convert your skeptics by insulting all of us whether we agree with you or not.

I want to congratulate those who made the correct call about the tops and made a killing this year. I should have listened but didn't and gave up most of the $ I made in Jan/Feb and am back to square one. Hopefully @dozu888 is right and I can recapture my gains after his pro boys stop shaking them trees.

Good luck and best wishes to all.

well the industry stats doesn't lie, 95% are losers.... I thought mom's basement is a cozy place no...

them shorts have been losing their shorts for so many years, as long as I have monitored forexIG the average is always around 7:3 short long...

don't 'listen' to these people. the market cannot kill the same group of people all the time, it's like a casino if some people always lose they will no longer come back, you have to let them win a couple of days to keep that false hope up.

WHO just make it pandemic. At the moment, DJI is down more than 5%. It could be just another flu and there is no need for national guard. Let it play out and if one could not take the market volatility then just stay out. Let the market do what it likes. For sure, DJI won't shoot back to 29500 in a day.

It could be just another flu

It is not just another flu, it is a stronger flu, with longer incubation period (good for spreading it), bigger death rate and more serious complications requiring hospital stays. What is so hard to understand about this?

 

[Tsing Tao]

Can you imagine if this doesn't go anywhere, and the virus peters out or fades into obscurity (either because of the seasonality or because it just isn't as effective as people are making it out to be)?

The next time a global killer comes around, no one will believe it.
