Shape of the recovery... V? U? L?

[ironchef]

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????

You predicted the top and forecasted a collapse.

Did you short the market early this year?

W.. we are currently On the first up leg forming the upside down v lol.

Let's hope it is not a M, with mid March the middle of the M.

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.

Sir, you don't have to rub it in.

A very, very long L...... Retail has not blown, at least according to the large prime brokers that should know a bit. They said most institutions got fairly flat relatively early but also were expecting them to start reloading once the quarter was over. What's a little weird though is that I can't find a bull anywhere

Uh ohhhh


No one has even begun to factor in the collapse in earnings that will be appearing in the nezt 2 years. That alone is going to drop forecasts to levels we haven't seen in years..the s$p was looking at $160 in earnings, do you have any idea what the number is gling to be ? Not even the analysts know and because of that i don't see how anyone could possibly think markets are not done collapsing!!


Guess this guy is for the letter M

speaking of letter recoveries looks like TSLA did a V almost up 100% in the last month.
I will be shorting this happily in a few more days once it gets past $800, if it does get there of course.

"What we can safely forecast is that there will be waves of optimism and pessimism along the way, with extremes of buying and selling, that will create meaningful trading opportunity."

That's very well put IMO.

Nope, like it never existed. Amazon is up because of the buying everyone is doing from sitting at home with nothing to do.
Tsla I'm waiting until after earnings to short.
Nflx up because once again, nothing to do but stream stream stream
Apple well thats just rallying on the curtails of the other techs since, iphone sales plummeted but no worries its Apple and Apple only goes up
