Guess we didn’t get it out of our system end of last week.

Time to buy on the way down.

Not a good time to buy. I'll wait until the market stabilizes.

This does not look good
Hopefully the red wave at midterms corrects this

Its took about 2 years to go from the Covid 2020 lows to the end of 2021 to reach the highs. Looking like the crash from those highs to past the 2020 lows may only take months. If this continues Nasdaq could be back to 8k area and Dow back to mid 20k's by end of year.

Utilities, Medical, Energy and defense stocks seem to be the safe havens for now.

A year ago we thought Covid was the only issue and that seems to be the only thing that has cleared up

Get used to it. This is probably 3rd inning of the bloodbath we’re about to see

Not buying just yet

Seeing days like this coming off of what we had last week just tells me that we’re in for more downside and volatility along the way.

The market is hinged to 2 big components: earnings and interest rates. A lot of questions still exist for these 2 areas.
Interest rates are a big concern as boomers realize that they can get safer returns while cutting back on spending. That can have a multiplier effect on earnings and the market as they drawdown on equities.

It’s looking more and more to me like we’re heading for a recession too. The question I have is how bad of a recession?

I’m enjoying the negativity, particularly the “this is just the beginning” without any context or reasoning.

It took 10 years to regain ATHs after Stagflation and it took almost 20 after the Tech boom.

The buy every dip strategy will 100% blow your account up in the long run.

Earnings don't matter in a market like this. I know we haven't hit the levels yet, but we are in a bear market. If your company blows out earnings, your stock will be up 2-3% and then sell off the next day back to even. If you report inline the stock will be down 5% and if you miss you'll be down 10-20%.

The rallies will be jaw dropping and as soon as you think the worst is over, you'll get a day like last Thursday to take all the wind back out of your sails. I think there is more pain to come as the 10 year increases in yield.

Maybe so. S&P has a bit to give up yet. Perhaps another 5% to 3800?

We're 50% cash right now. Mostly keeping the powder dry.

Put a toe in today with a few fractional buys though; e.g., MA, EXPE, along with lowering cost-basis in some positions.

I sold 60% of my stocks in March. I’m going to make out like a bandit when this is all done.

I think it will drop another 3,000 to 5,000 points. Market correction time. As interest rates increase, bonds will begin to have higher rates and money will move to bonds.

It seems to me that for major corrections, there usually is a capitulation, and people finally just quit watching or caring about the market. From there, the rebuilding begins. I feel that we are more in the denial stage, and have yet to throw in the towel. There's a generation of meme stock investors who have not been through this yet. Best of luck to all of you/us.
