Another 5% down?  This sucks.

It's going to keep dropping until the quarantines end.

Government has to make a decision if this is worth it if it means the US economy ceases to exist, because that's the inevitable situation. The economy is service based, not "telework" based.

Not sure what would fall under "services", but recreational or non-essential services looks to be about 6%, everything else will still stick around.  If you think 6% is enough to make the economy "cease to exist", I'd love to hear your argument.



What percentage of those industries can work remotely or in a prolonged social distancing situation?

Manufacturing, retail, and entertainment are pretty much non-starters there and those together represent almost 30% of the chart you listed.

We're oversimplifying that chart. No industry is completely shut down but all of them will be impacted to some extent.

Manufacturing is far from shut down. Retail includes grocery, gas stations, liquor stores, auto stores, online shopping, and other sellers still in operation. Digital entertainment is doing fine. Even some food service is operating at reduced capacity.

In my area the teachers and all are still getting paid and are emailing out weekly lesson plans now.

I took "ceases to exist" to mean "gone" and not "on hold for a few weeks".  There will still be demand for most of those things, and it will return as soon as restrictions are lifted.  We're not going to just stop making things, building things, or teaching our kids, the US economy isn't going to stop existing.  Yes, the other areas will be affected, but they won't go away. As for social distancing, it's not that difficult in manufacturing, depending on the product.  Most workstation are more than 6 feet apart, things can be sanitized, they can be run at reduced output with reduced employees to spread out further, respirators can be required PPE (already are for some jobs) etc.  Entertainment I was including in the 6%, the 4% and other services 2% as things that might reasonably expect to "cease to exist".  #topisin

you all mocked me everytime I posted here. if you wish continue, go ahead; but for those that are now done with buy and hold, please learn moving averages or follow lance Roberts newsletter recommendations.

Quote
for those that are now done with buy and hold

What? I didn't start buy and hold 3 years ago; I started 29 years ago. And I've stuck with it. And I'm sticking with it.

The vast majority of my assets were bought below today's prices, and my cash cushion was liquidated well above today's prices and was based on my personal timeline and not the market levels.

I'm already ahead, very passively.

Sure, I looked at the market dip and my pile of cash and was tempted, but I resisted and am in it for the long run. I just retired but hope to have well more than 29 years in my investing career yet to come. I have no "dry powder", I have a cash cushion whose purpose is to give me two years to deal with a situation like this month, and it's doing its job, and I'm sticking with the plan.

I've been very puzzled about market levels for 3-4 years and was puzzled why Coronavirus didn't seem to impact the market in January or February. But I made no moves related to market timing; my moves were because I was ready to pull the trigger on retiring (edit: circa August-October 2019). Since the market from month to month or even year to year doesn't impact my plans, I'm very very happy with buy and hold.

There is an unlimited supply of mockery.

Many forms of market strategy have been tried and will be tried in this world of volatility.  No one pretends that buy and hold is perfect or all wise.  Indeed it has been said that buy and hold is the worst form of market strategy except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

Apologies to Churchill.

SP500 at 2000 sounds real, unless some rescue injection occurs, but I think its too early for that....I might wait another while!

guys does anyone foresee sp500 below 2000? is it possible?!

Definitely possible.

Whenever I start getting stressed about my automatic purchases, I think back to the few times I've had a pile of money to invest the the market that wasn't just a monthly automatic deduction, and how stressed/bad I felt trying to do it and worrying I was picking the wrong date (and in fact the last time I did this was almost exactly at the peak of 2018 before the ~20% decline in stock prices).

Continuing to invest now means I don't have to stress/worry about trying to call the bottom and when to start investing again + when to move the cash that has piled up in the meantime into the market.

Honestly it was harder for me to buy in when it was high, but I kept going.  I was thinking it was high back in 2015, though, and we're still not down that far yet.  Also, there's no reason to think the market would have crashed any time soon if we hadn't randomly had a once-in-a-century pandemic this year.

Were you okay buying when the S&P was at 3,000 a couple months ago? Why is 2,250 (at the time of this post) suddenly too expensive?

Unless of course the Top really is in, and we'll never see the S&P at >3,000 again.

If I go all in on red and win, then I go all in on red and win again, clearly red was the right answer.  I can clearly outsmart all the folks that couldn't figure out that black would lose.

Sure there was. If you timed the market using moving averages you would have seen this pandemic coming from a mile away.

You unsophisticated louts, Bollinger Bands are the only true indicator.  3 out of 4 Thorstaches use them.

So if the 50-day and 200-day moving averages converge on the day of the full moon, and the VIX hits exactly 14.9, it's a sign that some random guy in Asia is getting a dry cough, right?

Another 5% down?  This sucks.

It's going to keep dropping until the quarantines end.

Government has to make a decision if this is worth it if it means the US economy ceases to exist, because that's the inevitable situation. The economy is service based, not "telework" based.

By the time quarantine ends it will have rebounded.  Do people not realize the market is forward looking?  The only thing that will drive it lower is is things get worse than expected.  Simply getting worse as expected is not enough

Nobody knows what these know unknowns will turn out to be.  Keep yer stick on the ice

I've also heard all investors are totally rational and forward looking. None of them react with fear/panic at all!

When you declared the end of this market was near [two years ago] and it ended up falling for completely different reasons than you predicted.


And be honest with yourself. Any mockery made was a two-way street.

If you have their cards, Chase and Bank of America - 0% 13-14 month balance transfers for a 3% fees. Both also will do a cash advance under these terms. Both have been offering this to me consistently for as long as I've had the cards, so I'm betting on being able to essentially roll these over to more 0% balance transfer offers in a year's time.

Granted, this is a way to scare up a few tens of thousands and it can take a little while. Be better if it could scale further, but every little bit.

There will be a dead cat bounce on Tuesday, it’s when my TSP contribution goes in so totally a dead cat bounce that day.  I predict at least 5%.

Wow good call! What's going to happen tomorrow?

I only make calls every other Tuesday.  I have no clue about tomorrow.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
