You really think it's not going to fall further? Agree to disagree...
Its is going to continue the free fall for some time it is still grossly overvalued and FED droping 4.5 trilion on the market will likely not stop the fall as no one is buying .

Kir, I do think it will fall further. Thing is, I don't know when it will turn around. So I just buy every month, up or down. Done it for thirty years. That has worked really well.
I have always said that what this world needs is a good plague...solve the over population problem...
Answer my fucking question this time tough guy.
Are you so badass that you figure a depopulation isn't gonna touch you?
That's the second fucking time you have spewed that horse shit.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

That'd be a damn solid contribution to any thread, but is particularly appropriate here. Thanks for that one
<shaking in my boots...> here is a third time! What this world needs is a good plague...solve the overpopulation problem!
I am sure it would touch me and you and you and you, etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum!
That's my plan when it hits bottom. I'm not buying right now.....it's gonna fall a lot more before it's time to buy again.
VooDoo
Does anyone on this board have any real CV experience?
The CV info thread has hundreds of entries.......not one first hand experience.
Ive had a pretty tame cold since Sunday, symptoms started couple days before. Id be willing to guess it is some form of CV.
It might have knocked me down to 75%.
Im probably 95% today.
Will avoid full PT for third day to avoid stressing lungs, tread mill walk only to raise core temps and cook up some CV.
Tom Hanks is looking fine in his selfies and he is getting FO.
We will be fine.
(Just avoid Italy apparently they can make fine pasta but cant survive a cold)

It might fall further but I have to buy before 4/15. But it really doesn’t matter. Why? Because only a fool would try and time the market 100%.

The oil story here is going to provide a 'fuel' for a fast upside when it turns. SA already went through this in the late 90's when their debt obligations were much smaller and it nearly cut their feet off. Revised price/barrel for fiscal break even is $81 with an ~ daily addition of $200 million a day in debt. Social unrest is the least of their problems they have never decoupled their way of life from oil. Food is highly subsidized in SA and 58% of their population lives on welfare.

I think it is called the rule of 84. They key is to always buy, reserve a little cash so you can increase the number of shares you have. I don't invest in direct shares. I only invest in stock funds.
Oil is doubled edged.
Cheap energy should pump up the economy, especially as we head into travel season, but it is going to do bad things to the fracking industry.
I look at the fracking industry as our "Big Stick" anyway.
Lets burn up the cheap oil while its there and have the big stick on hand when they want to fuck with supply.
Whoooohoooo, here we go....

Fed announces over $1 trillion liquidity operation as bond market churns
The Fed announced a massive liquidity injection on Thursday in a move that could tee the central bank up for quantitative easing.
Coworkers are getting 10 year mortgages in the mid twos.
They are saving hundreds per month.
Im going to abandon the guy that has done my last few refis if I dont hear from him quick.
Hopefully he is avoiding me knowing he can get me something in high 1's to low 2.

This ^^^.
Even though the hide represents only 150k they are a much more
mobile example than your average bunch.
You'd think there would be first hand accounts of someone on here that has been diagnosed.
I'd like to hear if there is and what their experience has been.

There is lots of other stuff going around right now that will give you nasty symptoms without worrying about the Wuhan flu.
Thanks to the schools around here there was a very nasty upper respiratory infection going around which I got thanks to a coworker that likes to go hang out with lots of other folks & then come to work coughing and hacking.
Cold, lots of sinus drainage, coughing, moving on to feeling sore and a bit weak, moving on to fever and chills, with shivering reaching workout levels.
Doctor was like... not much we can do... get better and if you don't come see us again.
Got better, a week later had a persistent dry cough, went back, and they said lungs are clear, so probably safe, go get healthy and come back if you start having trouble breathing.
Seem to be over it now for the most part as after another week the coughing stopped.
I might suggest that you could easily have one of the number of nasties that are going around right now.
(and just before somebody mentions it... the flu vaccine would absolutely NOT have helped in the slightest on a few things that are going around).
My suggestion to you would be get 8 hours + sleep each night, and try a bit of raw garlic along with vitamin C and vinegar, honey and ginger which all seem to help calm the symptoms down (unless you want to go with the standard meds stuff to do the same thing. In my case I have to be a bit extra careful about any meds that have any liver or kidney side effects).
Im fine.
Usually my colds are accompanied by a bunch of coughing, coughing to the point it hurts the stomach muscles and the force of coughing causes an all day long headache that is really the worst.
Havent had any of that this time, a very mild upper respiratory infection of the type that any of us can be regularly exposed to from any of the millions of shitty things floating around at any point in time, and it doesnt result in the end of the world.
Why on earth would you post something like this you monster??!! This is not a time to be tactical. Think less....more emotion. Geeez you would suck in the news business.
This will be interesting to come back to. We have not hit the lows I agree, but I think we are within 5% of all time highs by December. WITH the caveat Sanders doesn't somehow end up the Dem nominee....not sure how it could happen now, but that's a flier. Today could be that bottom test depending on how markets react to POTUS speech....not too many of the panic crowd wants to be long over the weekend. Once the test kits start showing how many are infected the spaz factor will go into overdrive that's my gut on finding out bottom.
I've got my trotline orders out waiting on people to throw me a Craigslist bargain sale.
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.

''Return to normal'' was supposed to happen after the FED anounced a 4.5trillion repo injection and things only shortly bunced back .

Sand fracking is kind of old technology now, and doesn't seem to be used except in shallow land drilling. Gravel pack is a better way, and we get way more life out of the well.

Son of a bitch! The bank didn’t transfer my funds fast enough! I was hoping to get in before close today!!!
I wonder who donald will bail out with his economic plans for the future? He believes in the trickle down theory and that has not worked before...
I generally agree. I have been waiting for a bit. However, I am not so sure it is time to get back in.
I really want to see the Q1 results and the new revised annual guidance for a mix of the best companies across multiple industries - a good cross section of the S&P 500.
The present volatility and sell-off this last week could be a pimple on the butt of the beast.
that statement is going to be true. but......good or bad savage? with everything shutting down, i am not confident that it’s going to be a good savage.
I am in bumfuck nowhere. Just got notice that schools are shutting down for 3 weeks. And people are going bonkers over stupid shit.
This next couple of quarters will expose the passive investment bubble crowd even deeper. Companies with outstanding balance sheets have been and will continue to be dragged down by the panic selling of people who don't really know what they own. Over the last 15-20 years I've continually been astonished at how many people can tell me what ETFs they own, but can't list the companies underneath that ticker, earnings, business plan etc? Passive has been good and bad....simplified investing so much quite frankly no homework had to be done, but that's also incredibly dangerous. As long as central bankers have propped up nations with staggering liquidity everything was fine just ride the train. Problem is when things aren't rosy, people panic and dump their index/ETFs and b/c they don't know what is what they dump great companies. Add to that high speed algos and trader margin calls and it's hold on to your nuts! This is ugly and will get uglier, but we can't stop central bankers on a race to the bottom it's a global cluster bang. It took me a long time to reconcile my thinking on this topic as I have always lived by rigid personal financial responsibility, but governments have been allowed to act like morons with our money. The term 'deficits don't matter' infuriated me.....and they don't....until they do.....and then it's all over. Bank accounts, safes at home or investments.....it ain't gonna matter when currency is insolvent.
Until then stay frosty Bear Pitters. I still think America is the greatest country in the world with the greatest economic potential.
There is also the credit crunch for BBB rated companies....yields are not favorable.
I think this financial situation is a new one
No doubt this same mentality reaches into credit markets as well. Again, knowing what you own and why can change the view of this current climate from one of total panic and fear to that of calm and buying opportunity. I don't think this is a 'financial situation' in the light of 2008 though. High yield gets in trouble when recessions come it's just life. Bank health today vs 2008 isn't even comparable. We've been in a Bull market for 11 years and I think we have an entire generation of investors who have no idea what a recession looks like or what's likely to happen.
