Is it going to be Friday morning or Sunday night?

Death rate from HIV was 100% for decades, obviously we didn't conclude from that that it would kill all of us.

This is the usual customary disingenuous illogical remark from Sig. HIV could be avoided by practicing safe sex. Coronavirus cannot be avoided unless you self quarantine/isolate yourself in your home.

Unfortunately its different this time . The fed lowering is just a bandaide this times. Fear is a powerful tool. If people scared to go to malls, eat out,go on trips( airlines,cruises) and even work no amount of printing will matter . Its like eating when you full. You just throw it up . Now i guess they could buy the mkt to hold it up and they might just do that

The great thing about fear is it always results in humans overreacting just like if you try to trade with scared money. As we move out of winter and into warmer weather the virus spread will naturally be slowed down. Now if it was October or November right now I would be worried more. How many people get the flu during April to September ?


If we look at what dow did before, during and after the 1918 flu pandemic it lost about 30% from its peak.

Corona is just a catalyst. market was overextended for a while. Buy the drip worked for 11 years, it still might. We will see.

Thats whats very interesting . The death rate is absurdly low. And its mostly older people . The fear is driving this craziness.It might be something we have to live with for a while

I don't think we know what the mortality rate is just yet. The Chinese propaganda machine won't allow them to be truthful, so we'll have to see how it plays out elsewhere before we know.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This correction is VERY healthy.

I will also add that interest rate cuts are relatively ineffective in combating either a falling market or recessions -- even though we still do it. Fiscal measures are far more effective. Here is a simple example. If the government wants to goose the economy they have the option to put money on the demand side , not the supply side as they have been doing.. If for example they left revenues alone and cut the lowest two tax brackets , especially the lowest, and jumped the top bracket way up to compensate, the economy would take off like a rocket. There are many more tools than just interest rate cuts. The Central Bank has many , and the Congress has many.

But why do anything at the moment. This Correction is very welcome! Its needed. It's healthy. It's wonderful, in fact!

Agreed, but as to the last point, my now 2year-old trend triggers are a week into a short position, with no ability to trigger a buy-to-exit *or* a buy-to-enter order before EOD today (without popping a ridiculous amount, which I don't see happening). My hand is on the mouse though, and the brain reminds, "NO. Trade the plan."

It's tough! -- the battle between brain and trigger finger. Good luck.

DOW/DIA is so far below 200 dma, frankly still looks bearish. DAL sector+ TSLA looks weak also.QQQ + related are going up,+ looks good on parabolic stop + reverse but see if they close above 200dma, looks like they will; but over 3 hours 'til close.
