Luxuries has been sitting on an astronomical mountain of cash the last few years. Probably a prudent move if they are looking long term.

The market is also tied to panicking old people and their money. Analysts can see into the future all they want, if the demand keeps going down, then so will prices. Equities can only be worth what people will pay for them. The major panic event I've stated I'm looking for is trump getting...

With the speed of this decline before much bad news really started to spread, I'm pretty certain we're still in for some major declines this year. A low in the 15-19k range is starting to look more likely.

Boeing is one of companies that is probably bulletproof. I'd say its a safe bet long term, but risky under 5 years, cause its getting turbo thrashed atm.

I'm entirely cash/bonds atm, exactly like I said I was doing since the start of feb. Had a few % of short for a bit, but most of my investments don't allow it. Pretty not stressed.

This. If things get so bad that you need to flee your home, rednecks will probably get you unless you really know what you're doing. That's one of the main reasons I had a thermal scope as one of my high priorities in my first covid prep post. Bit pricey, but extremely useful in that situation.

They really don't like it.

It's true. For a bugout bag: A pot to cook things, something to start fires and water filtration are the main concerns of any bugout bag, and they're useful to preppers. A revolver should be a high priority as well. Very simple to use and maintain. In this current situation, food and water...

Guess the markets decided they don't like it.

Trump gave a pretty decent speech. The big problem is that the content isn't going to be what people want to hear. Hard to figure out how the markets will react. It's pretty obvious now that this is going to be a bleak year no matter what we do. We'll survive, but its gonna definitely cause some...

There gonna be a lot of industries that need propping up. It's easy to make general promises to the first ones getting effected, but it won't be realistic to save everyone with this event. Boeing is not going to go away. The US needs that company. The US doesn't need cruise ships.

We're at where I originally said I'd buy back in at -20%, but I was expecting it in mid-late april. I think its reasonable time for a long term investor to buy back in or put money in the market, but I expect more loses so I'm still out.

Crash != volatility. Almost every day for the last 3 weeks the markets have moved more up or down than most years highest percentage movement.

The volatility of this market is pretty sick. The last 3 weeks of this market have probably been the most volatile in the market's history. These 4-5% swings happening fucking daily are just insane. The swings in the currency market give a small idea of the money moving around. The dollar...

Interesting and pretty extreme. There must be a massive concern over default rates. The credit market is already a complete disaster, a spike in otherwise good mortgages defaulting could topple things.

lulz

No tool in the fed's box can stop this. They shouldn't try to stop it either, they should be focused on forcing firms into lower-risk environments in order to give companies the best chance to weather it, rather than trying to prevent it.

Better than most of the dip suggestions given here. I think a broad-market approach is the best bet when I buy back in. There's going to be a lot of risk of changes to the economic system as a whole which may have huge impacts on industries in hard to predict ways. That said, I view the risk of...

Extremely against. Weakening requirements when loose standards lead to this situation being ready to pop is exactly the wrong way to go. The great depression should have been a lesson on trying to stop inevitable pain. It doesn't work and probably makes it worse.

All you guys buying before it dips and complaining about the drops are litterally making me chortle. You really think the stock markets are gonna go up when they start quarantining cities/states, when trump gets sick? Those things are gonna happen, so button up. Lets not even mention the swing...

Feeling pretty good about that right now.

I'm worried about the political situation around cruise ships going forward. Should do some research into local action against them and general opinions on the ground from mariners who deal with them before being quick to assume it'll blow over instantly. Sure they'll recover, but I think it...

There won't be any. The super high price is probably more a symbolic sign of units being completely sold out and nobody willing to sell and the ETF currently can't make more. People aren't actually paying that unless something messed up.

I don't really think this current market can be compared to anything else. Things are getting bizarre out there. While I was originally predicting a 20% correction at the start of feb, I think this was too optimistic now. I think we have another 6-8 weeks of panic and bad news ahead of us. which...

The time I was thinking to buy back in mid-to late april feels a long way away now. We'll probably approach the -20% I was looking for today. We haven't even seen the fallout of the one thing I was looking for as my buy-in crash signal, trump getting diagnosed with corona from his india visit...

Apparently barrels of oil are going for the price of rolls of toilet paper. This fucking week is gonna be lit.

Most investments are truly a form of gambling if you look at it with cynical eyes. It's just that the more risk you choose to assume, sometimes you can get more reward. You can take that all the way to the all or nothing end of the spectrum with investing if you really want to. The real...

Honestly, the suffering I went through to get to where they are, I'm glad the naked space ladies are all gone, that blew my mind in the original version.

I started watching this and where the fuck is the jump running. You could go through the first stage so fast. Supper disappoint. I loved this game when younger.

They have a huge amount of hope priced into the stock. If it fails trial you could lose your shirt. I'd look into the science before making that choice. I did and was kinda skeptical. My main reason was that their original study involved lung tissue, and their previous corona virus studies...

me obviously.

I made my call 6 weeks ago. I'm just a spectator. I'm just noting where the markets need to go from here to stay within my predictions. I expect some upside for 1-2 weeks for things to stay aligned.

Wild week. Looks like we'll end up overall a little bit. I think next week might be a little bit calmer in general after a bigger move on monday. I think news will bring us back into agitation and more sliding in the coming weeks though.

If I were lord of the fed, I'd raise interest rates and incrementally increase reserve ratio while stopping the repo market lending from the fed. Bring some accountability to the markets by letting them know you're gonna intentionally break the institutions playing risky in order to try and max...

I certainly expect the QE route. It worked last recession so why not this one, at least thats the argument they'll make. This is a very different sort of crash than 2008 though. The credit issues and the euphoria of lending are all there in many similarly bad ways, but the underlying catalyst is...

Pretty sure they are going to stick to a quiet greasing of the wheels for a bit after the reaction their rate cut got. Pretty sure they are very afraid of causing extra panic.

Don't time stocks *posts about the right time to buy stocks. I almost never sell stocks or anything else I've decided to hold. The vast majority of my retirement and money making scheme is tax avoidance and adding to my pool of money above all else. But when you see a recession coming a month...

I lost about 1% off the high because of bid/ask differences, but I completely avoided the crash so far. Honestly I feel like everyone else is insane for not seeing it coming easily and positioning themselves right. I sure don't feel insane looking at how my investments have done vs the average...

100% agree. That's why I panick'd early when I was the only one smart enough and everything was high and am advising buying BACK into stocks while they are being panic sold. My advise has been counter market forces for the past month. It's just unfortunate that I think this is ugly enough that...

We're rocketing toward my buy in point way faster than expected, and the dollar is getting trashed in its strength. It's a strong sign that there is a lot of money being cashed out. For long term investors, I believe there's a point where you need to move from cash/bonds back into stocks even...
