Like i said the rally has been much much more amazing than the decline was

Some pundits on various sites keep talking about the inevitable inflation. Prices on commercial real estate are falling, same with cars new and used, etc. Where will the inflation be? Pundits, it is already here, in the form of radically higher stock prices than in March! All that money being created out of thin air, combined with the policies of various Central Banks, has created an inflated market that is quite detached from the economic slog ahead of nations. The one percent front-ran the Fed once again, knowing the inevitable, at least for a time ...

Although the odds may be against it, I am not completely convinced the lows will not be revisited, because we live in an incredibly complex and unstable environment. US-China tensions could explode, what if something happens to Trump, health-wise, or other wise. Part of my education was a professional degree in international policy, and I have seen some strange things over the years. Events have already happened in this bizarre year of 2020 that have made my head spin, and plenty of the year is left. As the saying goes:"May you live in interesting times."

Agree but the bizarre really started in 2016.

Maybe this time around if Chumpie gets another 4 more the market will have a reverse reaction ... buy on the news and then collapse.

Corrections/crashes over 10% practically always happen much faster than recoveries. It took almost 2 years to recover from the 1987 crash, and that happened for no real reason (other than maybe program trading). This recovery is happening much faster than the late 80s bounce--which happened with no coronavirus and a robust economy. Or look at Dot-Com (took 7 years to reach ATHs again), 2008-9 (almost 6 years) and corrections in 2011, 2015-16, 2018, etc. (1-2 month corrections took 6-12 months to recover...and those were much more shallow than this one).

This is Trading 101 stuff everyone should know but many here are still in pre-K.

Of course crashes crash quicker than rallies rally.

But the permabulls are cheerleading like it is happening sooo fast.

IMO sustained volatility the past 6 months or so is almost unprecedented so comparisons with other drops is erroneous.

Name a correction after a 30% drop that's happened as fast as this one. As vol has only really shot up for 3 months.

Can not compare at all. I got markets on .com, y2k, 9/11, 2008 not even close what we have.
I do not get why people pointing to past crashes.

What kind of 12-year old blocks people and then makes up stuff about how big they trade? You make Walter Mitty look like a realist. Get some help.

I wasn't talking to you anyway unless Suntrader is one of your multiple personalities. Wouldn't surprise me....
