Just buy the stock.
At this point we're at panic levels on everything minus a few mega cap companies.
Financials, restaurants, banks, REITs...
The pain is indescriminate
Indiscriminate, relentless and remorseless. Don't be fooled by today's (Friday's) suckers rally, aka 'dead cat bounce'.
We're going lower still. If you're trading, use an up day like today to get out at a better price. You can always buy back in next week lower.
We'll keep going lower until we get a vaccine or the virus has run it's course. Until then there are lots of scary articles that have yet to be published.
Can I get an Amen?
You're waiting to buy stocks until the pandemic is 100% over? Is the plan to read on the news that the pandemic is over, and then buy stocks at or below today's prices?
No, I didn't say 100% over.
For example, for all I know, a vaccine could be announced tomorrow. This would be a massive buy signal, but the pandemic would still rage for a week or two (or more) as the vaccine would still have to be produced at scale and distributed. This takes time and in the meantime people would still continue contracting the disease and dying of it. But, the market would be buy-able and would go up in the face of this bad news because the calvary is on the way.
Alternatively, we don't get a vaccine. New reported cases go up, and up, and up, the market will drop, drop and drop. Then one day, the number of new reported cases has peaked because, well, everyone who's going to get it has gotten it. THIS is the buy signal. People will continue to contract the disease and die from it in the meantime, because it's not over.
So, no, at no point did I ever say 'wait for it to be 100% over, at which point (but not before!) you can buy.'
