Quoted from sir_tankalot:

It is either 1987 or 1928.

mini 1987

Australia dropped 8% today massive fall.

#1605 4 years ago

I only started investing in the ASX September last year and have a taken a punt on a number of stocks, choosing a diversified portfolio. Health care, Materials, Energy, Financials.

My portfolio has been Smashed to pieces in the last week with 30% loss across the board, I'm not gonna panic, just looking forward to when things get better again.

Word on the street is to stay away from Gold, I don't get it ? Gold stocks seem to always be on a good run.

In the meantime I feel its a good time to buy and have started looking for a couple of decent Aussie or Global ETF's.

looks like Saudia Arabia and Russia are having an oil slapfight while the rest of the world is still shaky from Coronovirus. Not the best news for stronks!

#1607 4 years ago

Many buying opportunities in coming weeks/months when dust settles. I predict dow will go under 18k by end of month.

Too late to buy VXX? Wish I held my $25 calls from last week, lost out big today.

The US, the #1 oil producer, can't afford to produce at these levels. A large percentage of US rigs will be shutting down similar to 2014-16.

Quoted from rai:

We just had two of the highest point gain days in history between 4-5% gain in two of the last 3 days. If people were waiting for a sign to buy they may have already missed it. Whereas with me, I never sold any and didn't have to time when to get back in.

#1617 4 years ago

A lot of damage has already occurred relative to travel, general commerce, and major supplied chain disruptions. 4-7% from the top is not coming for a long time (that's what I see in the tea leaves).

Central banks around the world have been lowering interest rates for years now, there's not much more in the tool box to prop and support growth.
The uncertainty around this virus is crazy right now. In my opinion, there is a legitimate and severe concerns causing governments like Italy for example to take extreme measures; never seen reactions like this to a flu virus (what don't we know right now? What do they now, we don't?)

I won't give advice on buying dips, if I did that on Friday, I'd be hosed right now. I do think the markets are oversold, so if you put money in today, I think you would be very happy with that decision come July/August. You need to look at this long term, and in the short term it's fricking "chicken little" right now. That's generally where buyer's profit in the long run.

Anyone want to buy some pins? I've got some for sale

I kind of thought gun stocks would go up during this, but apparently people are still more scared of guns than viruses.

#1620 4 years ago
Quoted from brobra:

Central Banks use monetary policy to "fix" demand issues. When an economy slows, they lower interest rates making borrowing cheaper, which is supposed to encourage borrowing to invest in business opportunities which is supposed to then cause growth in the economy. One can argue the borrowing has mostly gone into stock buybacks and asset inflation, not exactly productive economic activity IMHO.

This is a supply issue. China has shut down big parts of their economy and we won't be able to get the manufactured goods or components we need. There is somewhat of a demand issue, sure, with flying and discretionary travel purchases, but no amount of cheap money will make people risk getting sick. Central bank is powerless against this with its tool kit. Things will be better when a vaccine comes out, but until then, supply shortages will happen, people will quarantine, economic pain will be real, and layoffs are coming.

Your probably right. I'm with you there.

#1626 4 years ago

This market is so incredibly oversold.

Fact: Lower oil means higher profits for all companies (except oil companies).

Fact: Lower interest rates, means lower borrowing costs for everyone. I saw earlier, that Bank of America stopped taking on new mortgage refinancing applications because they are so overwhelmed.

Fact: The press has gone to town in creating a coronavirus hysteria. I had a doctor appointment this morning and my doctor said seeing the press flat out lie about coronavirus made him sick to his stomach. He said it isn't the measles, where it just rapidly spreads. He said this virus is actually difficult to spread, because it can only enter your body through the eyes, nose or mouth and only through bodily fluids. He also went on to say that the virus dies within minutes of exiting the body.

I'm no doctor, but isn't that precisely how the Measles spreads?

#1628 4 years ago
Quoted from mettle64:

Measles is highly contagious. It can live out of the body for 2 hours.

Coronavirus dies after a few minutes outside of the body.

For instance, look at a cruise ship. Outbreak of measles and 90% of the ship will be sick (hypothetically speaking no one has the vaccine). Look at the cruise ships that have coronavirus, not many people will have it.

Got a source for that besides a single MD you talked to? Sounds like they haven't done studies on COVID-19 at this point, but other varieties of Coronavirus can easily stick around for hours on a hard surface.

It is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment).

I agree with you, but sadly perception is reality when it comes to the markets and there is a lot of fear right now (be it justified or imaginary). I think the markets will hit their bottom before this week in concluded and start the climb back up next week.

I think today was the bottom.

For full disclosure, my college roommate is a doctor, and I’ve become friends with his doctor friends. Between them and my doctor I saw today, they all say the same thing. It’s being way overblown.

They way I see it, remember last summer the press was all “blah blah blah recession blah blah blah recession”. Replace recession with coronavirus.

#1640 4 years ago

A)How many people do you know personally that have had or currently have corona?

B)How many people do you know personally that have had or currently have influenza?

My answers for late 2019 - 3/9/2020

A) 0
B) 6

And I have yet to get immunized against the flu.

I don’t disagree with you but the spreading of all this rampant fear is resulting in the cancelation of a lot of stuff. So many people are scared to travel or go to events now, revenue lost from things like the cancelation of a 30,000 person convention in New Orleans or Vegas will never be recovered by those communities. It’s sad, but it’s worse than the recession talk of last year because it has so many people afraid to leave their house...

That said, I’m glad to see so many people now practicing good hygiene, I’m hoping the fist bump will replace the handshake and people will keep up their hand washing once all the freaking out is done in a week or two.

Sadly this scare is combined with the oil prices going down. That is going to stimulate some things and depress others.

#1642 4 years ago

I dunno, there was a huge sell off at the end. Probably means things will be up at bell tomorrow, but then back down if not lower tomorrow.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/09/italy-extends-its-quarantine-to-the-entire-country-pm-asks-residents-to-stay-at-home.html

from article: "The decision was made to protect the most vulnerable people in the country, he said, and the measures will take effect Tuesday and last until April 3."

This is an overreaction.

In regards to how contagious it is: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-03-09/what-we-know-about-grand-princess-docking-coronavirus-quarantine

3,500 people on a cruise ship and only 21 have it. That's less than 1%. If it was as bad as the media makes it out to be, you would need to add a couple zero's to that number. The data right there shows it isn't highly contagious.

I'm one who won't go on a cruise ship...all I see is a floating septic tank.

Make sure the beneficiaries of your parent's savings/investment/retirement accounts are up to date.

COVID-19 disproportionately affects older adults.

From recent personal experience, this can mean having to go through probate/court VERSUS the company who holding the money cutting a check directly to the beneficiaries.

Sure they do...we just missed it cuz media ignored it?

#1649 4 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Sadly this scare is combined with the oil prices going down

It was not all that long ago, the press was talking up how the U.S. was now the world's largest producer oil due to the bonanza brought on by oil fracking. The U.S. is/was exporting lots of oil. This action was helping keep a lid on crude prices and giving OPECs headaches.

In one fell swoop, Saudia Arabia just showed the world who is boss. All SA has to do is turn on the tap for easy pickings.

With prices at these levels, the heavily indebted oil companies can't make a buck. There goes North Dakota. There goes Midland-Odessa Texas---again.

Drilling will stop. Fracking will stop. Jobs galore can disappear real fast. Drilling rigs, drilling mud. Drill bits. Trucks will be made idle. Idle trucks do not wear out tires. Idle trucks do not suffer mechanical breakdowns so mechanics will be looking for work. It is a long list.

You don't even want to talk about the travel industry. Those companies are getting hammered.

This action is not going to correct overnight.

#1650 4 years ago

So let me get this straight...some of you are so sure it's no big deal and blame the media and you think Italy listens to the US media to decide how panicked they should be? It's called being responsible and thinking of others. Some of you could use a dose or two of that. I think some people need to get out of their bipartisan mindset and realize that the world revolves much less around the US than it used to.
