So SPY close at 389.73 the highest volume of PUTS were at 385 and 390. All of that premium eaten up in the last hour. I'll be watching the put/call ratio and price points closer from now on.TChaney said:So if we totally ignore charts and they are able to stay in control then the target price would be to close at ~385.01 or all the way to ~390.01. The latter not being very likely but still possible.$30,000 Millionaire said:

For those of you experiencing your first real bear market (2020 does not count) the thing that crushes souls is not necessarily the market drops; yes most stocks will eventually recover and you will get your money back and make some more. It is the passage of time, the agonizing amount of time it can take to bottom out, slowly move back up, go back down again... This reversal could take years, like it did in 2000 and 2008 and waiting around while your dreams turn into years is demoralizing.
Anyways, happy Friday.
You don't think we are in a bear market because one index compromised of 30 stocks isn't off 20%. The vast majority of stocks have been in a bear market a long time. Large caps are finally catching up last as they always do.
So,...was it a Bear Market today or OPEX? I'm confused..
We agree to disagree.

I don't see how someone can claim they disagree it's a bear market.
SP500 just broke below a 20% drop today. The Nasdaq and the Russell have been below a 20% drop for a long time, and the Dow is a few percentage points away.
It's not a matter of personal opinion- if the market drops more than 20% from it's previous high it's a bear market.
Tremendous warning issued by me almost at the lows of the day. Before almost 100 point rally.

I've got first time stock investing friends telling me they are going to buy in if it drops further. I think we are seeing the beginning of the bottom. People buying as it goes lower.
Are you kidding. That is a telltale sign we haven't bottomed. Bear market bottoms typically happen when people give up and stop thinking we've bottomed.

🛑 China is preparing for war. First, Xi orders Chinese banks to risk asses and insulate against potential U.S sanctions. Now Xi is directing Chinese nationals overseas to divest of any assets. China has been hoarding grains for over a year…Xi’s 1/5 https://t.co/2JpTDW0Zou
