    the second wave of selling began the other day and with todays scary unemployment numbers, the market is preparing for a depression. Bottom line- investors want cash, Not stocks. Technicals really dont matter when this happens. Everyone wants to preserve cash.

    I expect any bounces to be sold off quickly. This was a scare event, and many people will realize that their time horizon and risk tolerance doesn't fit a 70%+ allocation to stocks. When it bounces, and people get back 1/3 or half of their losses from the high, I would expect a wave of selling.

    I don't see anyway the recent lows aren't at least re-tested. We'll be lucky if those lows hold the line. Then by mid summer maybe things normalize and the bull resumes?

    suggested strategy?
     
  7. S&P 2K before Memorial Day.
    Then depending on the virus spread and potential vaccines, either a slow recovery or S&P 1850-1500 in the Fall when the virus returns

    Unfortunately, with QE Infinity, your cash won't amount to much either.

  9. Well in times like theis investors would turn to
    Fixed income - bad idea
    Consumer staples - bad idea
    Gold - is getting sold as well
    Real estate - bad idea as MBS almost default
    What is left then?

    crypto? I kid, I kid....though it's doubled since its previous bottom already and seems to be taking the "keep printing" news rather well.
