In the post-virus era, volatility will be the norm.

I’m no market watcher. But based on the conversation with SOME friends and family, they just want to get back to near 30,000 points, they are parking their money on the sidelines.

This roller coaster created a weak stomach.

So if I have this right, they just want back what they had and they are gone, bull market be damned.

Will that cause another round of lesser-300 point drops? I understand that causes buying opportunities.

Also (this is why I put it on the poli) when the next 2021 flu causes MORE deaths than the Chinese flu, will the MSM try to cause more undue panic on Trump?

Seems like it is a given that they hunger for anything they would take him down.....including their retirements.


Would we see people just park their money on the sideline when any if the following happens:

1. Regular ole flu
2. Middle East unrest

I can see novices try tk time the market and sell at the sight of unrest and try to buy back when it starts tk tick up.

That’s a quick way to get poor.

Volatility is the norm right now, not when this blows over

Before WWII epidemics and financial panics were a common occurrence. We've been here before.

If dems win back the Whitehouse this “pandemic” and others will drag on for eternity. They have already set the stage for what the general public will allow when they are in fear. Libs will definitely push it to the limits and then some.

Nothing is changing. Once they get back even and sit there money on the sidelines for a few years they will be looking at the same amount and going geez I wish I would have invested and had 15-20% more.

The volatility is due in some degree to robo advisors. I imagine we will see some legislation to reign that in
