How come after markets collapse there is just article after article after article and just so many, many, many opinions on how the markets are on a road to recovery when not one single person predicted a collapse...the same exact people saying to buy now were the exact cheerleaders at the top saying buy buy buy. And not only that, but how come bull markets can last years, years and years and decades and decades, but once in a bear market they can only last a few weeks to maybe 2 months????

They just dump quietly and we retailers pick up what they sell wondering what to do with it. I am very nervous to ride anything overnight.

Because they went long at the top and are trying to juice the markets so they can get out of the hole with minimal damage. Yahoo message boards were a notorious place for this 25 years ago.
 
It can be anything from A to Z.

but why bother about the shape of recovery?

Just focus on day trading. Then you solve the problem of trying to predict shape of recovery.

How will we come back from this?

I'm thinking of a "KY" shaped recovery for many--if you know what I mean!

"D" for depression.

Once goldman and JP dump their dogshit on the market we'll all be in bread lines. They were never prosecuted for dumping hot shit on the market in 2007. They learned a lot from their mistake - they won't make it again.

Biggest economical crisis in history and the worse of the market rout is behind us. Simply amazing that one can say that. So that means the next bull market will last for some 30+ 40+ 50+ years after this last bear market only lasted 3 weeks, wait I think it was 11 days if I'm not mistaken .....



Our call of the day, from a team of Goldman Sachs strategists led by David Kostin, says the worst of the market rout is behind us. A “previous near-term downside of 2000 [for the S&P 500] is no longer likely. Our year-end S&P 500 target remains 3000 (+8%),” says the team in a note to clients on Monday.

You posted this sarcastic kind of dribble last year when some analysts dared to predict the SPX would hit 3100 or 3200. And it hit 3200 and not a peep from you when it did. In other words, given your history they'll probably nail the forecast. The better a forecast is, the more chance you'll be on here posting shit about it.

Of course I'll be here posting. And I'll be saying the same thing .....you know to send all your thank you cards to the Federal reserve as they print trillions of dollars to prop up the market continously!!!

It's a complete myth that anyone was piling in at the top. Volumes were not high at all and the market was rather pedestrian until the virus hit the US.
