Just think, in a few weeks they will announce a vaccine and some medication for the Corona virus (probably made out of essential oils with a splash of lime juice), and we will bounce back!

Well I suppose this could be a double bottom but more unlikely than not.

I've been moving 10% or so of my 401K that I had in bonds to stock funds after each big drop, I still have some in bonds waiting though for next week.

I think you're right. I'm buying equities with the drop. And adding puts. Puts allow me to make quick cash and the money I have tied in equities isnt affected as long as I dont sell. I'm not a very sophisticated investor though.

Even when they do, it will take time to ramp up production and get it out to affected areas.

That was such an ugly close. 2800 next?

That's what I'm doing. Picked up 100 shares of XOM on the cheap today as a start. Will see what else I do tomorrow.

Very concerning close. Again, there had not been a weekly like this since 2009. Want to see a big wick tomorrow.

I have normalized metrics on A variety of underlying data for every day back through 09 and All week my metric analogies have been from 2009-2011.

Screw the close. Look at after hours. Off the cliff and I boughT SPY against the $301 Puts. Still have $290's for tomorrow and then the March ones.

Does a Biden win this weekend settle the markets or does it even matter at this point?

If this is a dumb question, I apologize.
Do the mutual fund managers rebalance their portfolio at the end of each month to allocate percentage of stocks/bonds? Curious how that would appear as buying and possibly stabilize the market tomorrow.

Oh that doctor on CNBC wasn't political at all... I wonder if all of the CNBC anchors shorted or got out of the market before this broke. It seems like a damn play on tv.

Well...my investments are down but im not selling those this week so it doesnt matter. I did buy a couple SPY puts that have made me $617 today and I'll likely sell them tomorrow for a nice little profit. That's how I'll build my cash reserves to buy equities. Buy put options, let the market fall, then cash them out to buy equities for long positions.

I dont have as many chips in the game as you guys. I have about $5000 in equities and $1000 for options mainly because my wife doesn't want me playing with our retirement money (she's a financial planner so she's doing the real deal on her end)

XOM might not be the best stock to try to get on the cheap. They have a lot of market headwinds with oil/gas prices. I think companies that sell software are going to be the best bang for the buck. They don't have manufacturing in China, they just have consumer issues to deal with. But people are still going to demand apple and microsoft.

Geez I was slammed 2:30 - 3:00 but managed to buy a few SPY 295 puts for 1.80 when 301 broke around 2:53. 50% in 7 minutes. Rooting for a massive red open tomorrow to sell in the first few minutes. 2900-2940 range is key. Below that is 2850 ish and then gap at 2718. This is nuts. At some point it's going to boomerang back.

If you're holding a SPY 290p and it drops below that, what's the value then? Is it beneficial to sell it quick or to hold as it drops then sell right before expiration?

I think part of the reason people are freaking out is we can barely test for it and someone can have the virus for two weeks before showing symptoms. Makes it pretty hard to deal with, even if it isn't as deadly as a SARS or normal flu.
Why do people keep saying it's not as deadly as the normal flu?

The reported numbers might be dead wrong (perhaps there's a ton of unreported cases), but right now they point to a 2% mortality rate. Seasonal flu is less than 0.1% mortality.

How do you know how many have been infected to develop a mortality rate?

The fact of the matter is, we have decades of flu studies, and only months of coronavirus (which are sheltered by the Chinese government) to nail down these statistics.

Most people I see are discussing the significant amount of deaths the flu has caused versus the amount in coronavirus.

You're right, I was mainly thinking of SARS.

They haven't been this low in 15 years and are about as diverse as big oil gets. Tomorrow I'm looking at tech companies to see where I place some bets.
