Futures trading halted for the second time this week. So that’s something you don’t often see.

And I’m tapped out after investing in a brewery. My timing has not been great guys.

That seems like pretty great timing tbh

the trading curbs have been doing a pretty good job of slowing panic selling. both times the market has stabilized when they hit. haven't hit the level 2 either time. obviously not a lot of data points to go on. tons of this stuff is robo buying/selling extending runs both up and down.

I bought stock thinking this illness would come and go in a few months. Now, I'm starting to worry that some unforeseen chain of events is going to crash the stock market down to zero.

Drawing comparisons to 2008, which was a rough time for the economy but also a time that lots of folks are now kicking themselves for not investing at the time.

here's the deal, this bull was about spent no matter how you look at it. trump's tax plan probably added 2+ years to it. the first negative catalyst that came along was going to crater it. the virus just happens to be the one that happened along. A bernie nomination and then presidency would have had a similar impact. not at this steep of a drop but probably ended at the same place. we'll probably go into recession for the next few years and then bring out a nice fresh young bull.

wild guess is that S&P goes to 2,000 at some point and hangs out for awhile. I'm just going to keep throwing money at it.

If it makes you feel better every single person on this earth also is getting their asses whipped. Except subscribers to the kk sd text message insider wall street chain

if you subscribe to the sd kk newsletter text message chain you'd know there were high level insider wallstreet types that are already making some moves to protect their assets from the inevitable bernie sanders driven market collapse.

My previous portfolio is down 26%
My current is down 7%

From market peak which is very close to when I made this move.
