Anyone else having trouble placing orders on Fidelity?
No, it reopened at 8:45. Got one trade in but can't make any more now.Martin Q. Blank said:
Market is closed since 1 minute after opening.
I posted earlier, but my sister's company let go 150 of their 600 on 3/13... 25%IrishTxAggie said:This sounds ridiculous and would put the world into a complete downturn.Aggiesincebirth said:
I have a family member who was at the FED meeting last Thursday. I told him about the FED announcement yesterday and he was floored. He said that was NOT what they talked about and none of the other guys he was texting from the meeting had heard about it till I mentioned it yesterday.
His father is well respected in the banking industry and they were in Disney last week for the banking convention. He said that the talk was about how companies are planning 25% across the board lay-offs. He mentioned that did not include oil and gas which would be larger. This was all dependent on if this virus keeps businesses/work from home going for the next 1-2 months. They are already seeing small businesses closing doors. This was all dependent of course on if we can get everything reopened soon, but the big talk was about unemployment and the huge spike that we could see in the economic data very soon.
It sounds like pure ciaos and hearing that from someone who is 85 who I thought had probably seen it all, he said he has never seen anything close to this.
I also find it odd that you had to tell him what the FED did and he was unaware considering every news app and Twitter went off a second after it happened

This panic is all off of projections and it's ridiculous. The amount of actual deaths from this virus is so low that it wouldn't even register if we didn't have the media. I'll panic when they're picking bodies up in trucks that have been left out on the curb for pickup.
There are half a million hospitalizations from the flu each year, and 10's of thousands of deaths, just in the US. The economy doesn't even notice. There is a framing bias taking place in the world right now.

We were hanging out enjoying our Sunday. Not trying to be rude but we were living our lives enjoying the Sunday when the notification went off.IrishTxAggie said:This sounds ridiculous and would put the world into a complete downturn.Aggiesincebirth said:

THIS. And to be honest, most aren't experts on the markets either.JDCAG (NOT Colin) said:
Those hospitalizations and deaths are still going to happen, only now they'll be tended to by doctors who are overtaxed, in hospitals with no room, and around patients carrying something likely worse.
So how is that not something we should take seriously?
Too many people on this thread pretend to be experts in all aspects of life and while I appreciate the expertise in the market on this board, it's growing hilarious to watch some of you also pretend to be experts on infection disease as well.
I mean, we literally have people on here saying it's not worth panicking until people are putting dead bodies out on the street.
But by all means, continue...

Help me out here.. is the market going to keep falling this week, or should I jump in now? I dont want to jump in and lose 6-10% each day for the foreseeable future.
