Yes

 

Burn baby burn. I want to see flames

 

Ha I’m not an expert. Just my gut feeling based on past trends and my sense of how people have been feeling about the market the last year or so. Coupled with current hysteria (not mine).

 

I’ve been in 401k’s since 1980, Black Tuesday, 9/11, 2008, all just temporary ripples. It does have its ups and down

 

Except we now are in the unknown.

The Fed has no real ammo, short of rates going negative.

The Fed has dumped billions of dollars into the repo market

The American consumer for the most part is tapped out

The Federal deficit is at record highs

Housing is in a bubble again

Zombie companies are a thing

I'm not saying it's going to zero, but we're in deep this time.

 

That’s what people said last time. And the time before that. And the time before that. And the time before that...

 

Except that's a weak argument

 

The sky is falling the sky is falling

 

We are in the roarin 20’s ...sit back and have a drink

 

I think we can look to SARS, MERS, ebola, etc. to see where this will go.

More importantly though, the panic comments (this is the big one, this is it, etc.) are the same thing people were saying during those events.

I like to find old articles and comments and read them online. The panic over these events happens every time, but the market always recovers.

 

Yet here we are and futures are still down triple digits

We're in the 1st stage of grief, denial

 

This correction is just reaching half of the one we had about a year ago (late 2018) lol

 

It will be interesting to see once china starts back up again if air freight takes off (sorry about the pun). Companies will need stuff NOW. I know it's in a pretty huge slump right now.

 

Let the market crash. I am ready to buy and it's like real estate is on clearance. Profit is made when you buy, not when you sell

 

Yup I have close to 20k cash in a rolled over IRA i need to invest and have been waiting for this. It's been sitting there for awhile because I knew the climb was unsustainable and all it needed was one straw to break it's back. Now let's see if I can gain in the long run over having it sit on the sidelines.

The Dow went to what like 4 digits back in 2008 and evreyone survived, all will be good in the long run.

I will say if I was planning in retiring very soon I would be sweating.

 

Lots of people have been out there spending like this economy could never change. Basically EVERYTHING has been inflated beyond all common sense. This dip could pop right back up once the virus fears are quelled or it could plunge us into another global recession/depression.

 

I can't help but laugh at MMM and CLX. Masks and bleach!

 

This "crises" has shown me I need to learn options trading. Confuses the hell out of me, which is even more the reason why I want to learn it.

 

.

solid advise on this one. Already up $30 on my investment for today

 

Thanks man, hoping for double digits on this one soon. Tried to buy $1.40 but couldn’t wait, in at $1.89 for 140 shares.

I almost bought APT back when it was under 5 and just now checked it... It’s at $38. Kicking myself pretty good on that one. They manufacture protective masks.
