Quote from congoboy:
I am going all in. I have already opened several credit cards and got maximum cash out of them. that is about 25k. I also met a loan shark who was willing to levereage that cash 5:1 with a 45%interest rate. I put about 140k into an account and will lever it 4:1 from my broker. tomorrow I will open long positions and go all out. all equities should be worth over 540k tomorrow. If I am right, I will become rich, if I am wrong, I will perish. I strongly believe the market is still good.
1. Broad based indeces are down only 11% from highs. That does not qualify the market to be bearish. We move 3-4% on some days.
2. The fed is repeatedly doing everything it can to prevent disaster. Money is available cheap now and that is what companies want. They would jump on cheap cash to use for expansion.
3. I agree the market sentiment is bad right now considering BSC and all. But one company is nothing compared to the grand scheme of things.
4. Jobless claims should fall with more companies willing to do some more hiring.
5. Historically, stimulus packages have helped the economy, so will the checks we recieve in May.
6. People will also be borrowing money since it is cheap and start pumping the equity market. Foreigners will do that too.
7. Companies have stabilized in the past 40-50days since those Jan lows. It just refuses to fall.
8. Stocks never shoot up in a straight line. There is always some sort of a correction. This is nothing but a mere corrections. thats exactly what it is, 10-15% correction.
9. Oil prices will come crashing down. I expect somewhere in the range of 60-70. How soon? I dont know. But within a few months perhaps. The current rising prices are not sustianable by the middle and lower middle class(majority of this country). The prices right now are too inflated and geopolitical conditions with Ven. shoudl get better. But if Obama or Hillary wins and pull out of Iraq, there could be some problem as America is in Iraq solely for the oil.
10. Because congoboy said so.
If I am wrong, I will go back to mbotukinshasa or wtv the fuck it is. If I am right, well, if I am some people I know will be very impressed with my abilities and would want me to manage their money.
