This is the sharpest decline I've seen. I just wonder how much of the flow is coming from algos selling for non-economic reasons? Anyone with quant background here? Spek has a great point, paralysis by analysis is a real thing.

 

I'm just applying the 5 year test to everything I buy. That's the only way you can remain poised in this environment.

I have never experienced a market like this although this is slightly new for everyone.  I have been holding onto my cash and every day I think it can go lower - Im fearful.  When does one get the courage to deploy!?

Once you get comfortable owning something at a price for the long-term.

If you look at the pace of declines in recent days, USB doesn't look like it will be too scary.  It was at $55 a month ago and it's at $32 today, but it has largely flattened out for the past week.  It's off 50% from it's high.

 

I'm not making a recommendation though.

If you're in you're 20s, 30s, or even 40s, you should be celebrating this downturn (obviously not the health effects). In fact, you should hope for further declines. I know I am.

 

Unless you run out of cash to invest.

 

:D :D :D  :'(

Well, I should have qualified that as if you still have a job. :P

Added a bit of RHM.DE. I liked it at ~70€, so it ought to be a good buy at 43€ and change.

 

Also bought back some beloved TRV @$77 and change. Second bid did not hit unfortunately. Sold this yesterday into the surge at close for more than $96. I call this type of market “Nantucket Sleighrides”.

 

Nothing makes sense any more until it does.

 

Also got a bit more FOX. People still watch TV, I think.

Been rolling a number of my long positions into two year, deep in-the-money LEAPS which has freed up 40-50% of the cash in the positions.

 

 

Will be missing out on some sizable dividends, but have same notional exposure for capital gains and will hopefully make more than the dividends missed by putting the incremental capital to work as new names go down further.
