Reaction to today's stock market

Never put your eggs in one basket still applies I guess.
Invest in growth stock mutual funds.
Invest in real estate.
Invest in guns and ammo.
When toilet paper is on sale buy a few...
 
Took eight years for market to tank under Bush.
donald beat him out, as he likes being better than everyone.
It only took donald three years for market to tank.
After donald was elected POTUS, I sold 1/3 of my funds, I knew eventually the market would crash. Market has not hit the low. It is not the virus that is driving it lower, though it is helping.
I will be buying right after the next election.

FYI this “crash” is still 5000 points higher than when you sold. We lose another 22% across the board, and you’ll look “smart.”
 
You can fit the all of mankind in Rhode Island. You can drown them all in Loch Ness... three times over. Overpopulation is an ecospiritual myth. Like global warming, and wind power.

Drowning 8 billion people is easy. Feeding them; well, that's a bit more difficult.

Obviously you have never been stuck in traffic in L.A. trying to get across town... :mad:
Thankfully, neither have I lo these last 55 years...

No, it’s not. We haven’t scratched the surface of what we could feed.

We have an over abundance of food, and that’s in spite of our low yield, low labor farming practices. Now ask yourself why some people are hungry.

You told us.
 
The market has never not recovered in the history of the stock market, unless your within 5 years of retirement: close your eyes.
Pretty funny Robert Wolf former CEO of UBS....progressive uber liberal who despises Trump and was Obumble's top Wall Street advisor was just on with Maria Bartiromo. 'I've been out of the market for 10 years, but I bought the S&P Friday and I'm buying again today.'.

I adjusted a few more orders to prices that are probably not gonna fill, but they are just gravy. If they pop I'm gonna have a big steak for lunch!

Kramer is finally talking in depth about passive investing dragging great companies share prices down right now. Bargain bin shopping on steroids if you know what to look for.....but the panicking ETF crowd who doesn't know what they own are dragging down everything under the sun. Stay frosty deals of the decade still to come!

Finally, you speak!
And you post a perfect illustration of how you climate Nazis and "after humans" cults, come to your rather unsubstantiated conclusions.

Traffic, how rich. And shallow.

Throw out some suggestions.
 
Just don’t chase dumb shit. Do solid research into what you plan to invest in.

Once you buy, be prepared to watch your original amount shrink right now, lol.

I’ve done very well for myself in the last 15 years by sticking to my hard and firm rules.

Really stupid question, but who is Kramer that you talked about in the thread?
Sorry bad spelling. Jim Cramer......talking head on CNBC. Pretty insightful guy in terms of trends and while I don't invest quite like he does still enjoy listening to him b/c his 30,000 ft macro views tend to be darn good. He's not a big Trump fan, but if you can stand the occasional knock on POTUS you can learn a lot. Just threw that in b/c some people discount other's POV due to political leanings.....which CNBC ain't shy about voicing! Cramer echoed what fatcock said do your research....he did bring up Verizon, but said do your homework b/c there are a ton of great companies out there getting dragged down with the market.

I watch Cramer too.

I don’t give specifics, as I am very high risk. I’d hate to lose another person’s savings based off what I said.

I’ve been right, a lot, over the years and have been very successful. However, those times I was wrong we’re quite painful.

Tons of research is what, I believe, has allowed me to do well.

Something else I do if I’m long is I will only check that one 3 times a day. That has saved me more money than I care to talk about, lol.

I sent him a PM echoing almost the same thing verbatim about particular tickers. I am not an FA and I don't want the responsibility of structuring a portfolio with someone's livelihood.

We think very much alike in the research sense in that I gave a resource where I get most of my research done and also have a pay wall subscription to a dividend aggregator. It's quite an education, but none of it is any more difficult then long range shooting, ballistics, reloading etc. it's not rocket science.

i've put this up before if anyone else is interested tons of free content and there are also pay wall subscriptions to some outstanding insight with some really great minds.

With the nation shutting down, i fail to see how the economy is going to gain. If folks aint making it to work, and so many industries taking a hit, i can’t see how that makes the market rise. Today’s events are just like the other days the market gained in the last week.....a spike when they announce action, but once folks have had a day to process said action and how it will play out, it’s back to losses.
I hope i’m wrong. But i dont see this turning around anytime soon. At least not until the nation is back on track and folks are back to work acrossed the board.

Smart money is still waiting it out as this is only entering the 'fear' stage , start buying once they start preparing to nationalise Boeing and FED starts taking stocks as collateral if not outright buying stock.

That was fast -> junk can now be used as collateral ,last time this was offered in 2008 it resoulted in massive fraud

Fed Launches Primary Dealer Credit Facility Which Will Accept Stocks As Collateral
Credit extended to primary dealers under this facility may be collateralized by a broad range of investment grade debt securities, including commercial paper and municipal bonds, and a broad range of equity securities.
This means that as of this moment, equities - which are worth zero in a worst case scenario - are eligible collateral for Fed liquidity

Dealers can now buy stocks at what are still massively overinflated valuations thanks to trillions in central bank liquidity, knowing they can then turn around and pledge them to the Fed at a collateral value that is determined after several rounds of single malt between the fund and some NY Mellon back-office lackey who will write down pretty much anything in exchange for a free dinner, and even if the stocks crashes the Fed will still assign whatever value BNY Mellon decides it is "worth", basically giving the dealers not only a costless purchase but also a free put option!

That said not all equities are eligible as collateral: "the following equities would not be eligible: exchange traded funds (ETFs), unit investment trusts, mutual funds, rights and warrants
 
No worries the governments going to send us all welfare checks for $1k and put us even more into bondage... yay!

This is ridiculous. I don’t want the government check. I don’t want to be taxed to the nipples. We all complained when Obama did the stimulus garbage... Bad move Trump.

But at least I be gettin my gubmnit check

I am mixed on the cash payments. On one hand we don't really need the debt. On the other hand I really do not want to have to repel the stupid because they are desperate. The mob mentality and the agitation by the press could make this become very significant and destructive. Our economy will restart with a great fury unless we have even bigger problems in the aftermath.

This is a very significant event in our history. We journey into the unknown. IMO the virus is less significant than the repercussions we will face from the fear and anxiety. Keep your head and don't lose your cool.

Why would you asume 2300 to hold ,even at that , most of the stock is still overvalued especialy now, that everything is grinding to a halt and trillions of dollars are being injected into the banking and stock market to keep it going when none is buying shit they are selling.

Time to start going chapter 11 on any and all companies that wasted $$ on stock buybacks and now want a bailout .

I was being facetious....I love talking about the market and buying in now....LMAO

No shit. I mean, there are various arguments to be made that the S&P should be sitting around 2000-2400 just based upon normal fundamentals if all was well... which as we know, all is very much not well.

It may be better to start viewing this as 2008, Part II: The Refuckening (kinda like a course historical parallel to 1929 & 1933, although that analogy is rough at best). And so if investors got spooked enough to drive the S&P down to 666 based upon GDP growth rate of -5% in 1Q2009, then what might happen when we print a -20% number for 2020Q2? Maybe we should account for the fact that real GDP was ~$14.5T in 2009 and currently sits closer to $21T, but then again that sort of simple math may be too rigid to account for investor psychology.

Anyways, I'm *not* trying to make any specific estimates of how low this could go, or when it's gonna bottom. All I'm trying to suggest is that everyone should pepper their angus in preparation for a drop the like of which we haven't seen in our lifetimes.

But if someone does decide to go balls-deep, please by all means keep us informed how it goes. At some point, the market will indeed become oversold, and we know from history that this is when the real money will be made.

Talking with a friend yesterday about getting into the market and stumbled on this thread.
as usual, there are all sorts on here, and lots of good info.
going to start researching
 
This is all bullshit is what it is. Guess those in charge kept their word. It proves to me that people behind the scenes do shit to manipulate. All is actually pretty fucking well other than everyone losing their minds over some stupid BS. Virus real or not, most of this is manufactured.
