Black Monday

[Balance]

The figures in the US are already out. 3.5m extra unemployed. Yet the Dow goes up by 6%. I think with QE we will see asset price increases. Quite possible that markets cannot really go down. Individual companies may fail but the market as a whole will probably rise sharply in proportion to the QE that is enabled.

Stockmarket 101 - market prices risk & reward ahead, not backwards.

Governments have already boldly stated that they will not allow their economies to fall into depression - if need be, they will pump all the money needed to achieve that aim.

That's why the worse than expected unemployment number is considered 'good' news ion that respect.

Many of the petrified investors & posters have not thought through the implications of what that mean - think about it.

It has profound implications for the money you have in the bank or in your mattress.

Agree. Just a false rally to draw in some suckers. Next weeks figures will undo all the u.s gains in the last week.
There's only one way this is going

Rally might well last until March 31. This is the day the fund managers need to report their quarterly losses - and they will want to keep them low :

Feel the fear out there?


Remember this from the world's greatest living investor - the man who has lived and managed the biggest investment portfolio through numerous crisis, each bigger than the other.

His investment portfolio not only survived but thrived post each of the crisis.

This is what Warren Buffett said :

"Our goal is more modest :

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy

and

to be greedy only when others are fearful."

Market has now gone up 20% from the low, this could be the last day of the rally, and a good second chance to remove any portfolio dogs.

Good advice I think, will see how this day plays out

Nope - just an oversold market with institutions taking the opportunity to load up on what they perceive to be good value oversold stocks.

Sad for the retail investors who were spooked and sold out at horrendous losses in the last week.

Up to you to decide.

Only a few? 10%-20% drop is nothing from here

Held my nerve must say, didn't do anything with my portfolio as far as selling or buying. Down a bit on few stocks, but overall not too bad as of now.

DOW closed up over 20% from the fall, technically the DOW at-least is back in BULL mode. I don't suspect it will last considering the environment but with all the stimulus being announced who knows.
