the op is full of economy information. the stock market is not the economy.
Does an individual investor's faith in a stable economy equate to more investment in the market? Forget the folks who are shorting/playing the market, I'm referring to regular Joe investors.

Do you want it to crash? Like to 0? SMH
No, I'm still 30-35% in equities. I was asking the PT forum why they believe it hasn't crashed at least to the level it did during the financial crisis.

Here's my thinking and why I'm still invested partially in equities. If you don't require your investments to make your monthly payments and you believe society isn't going to collapse you ride it out and wait for a recovery......if you depend on your investments to pay your bills.......???????

Fair enough. I don’t think there is one answer. Hope?

Oh I have hope, I also believe the feeling of relief once the pandemic passes will equate to pent up consumer spending......I also think the way businesses conduct daily business will change too, probably not for the worse.

Because some companies are thriving right now (Amazon, WalMart, Netflix). Others are positioned to explode when some normalcy returns.
Also, the government is taking unprecedented, serious steps to mitigate the economic impact.
Plus, there is still the belief that some business will start up in May.

This^^^ is the response I'm looking for, it's true, some companies are thriving right now. I don't think we're going to feel all the real pain of this shutdown for months...it will have somewhat of a ripple effect through the economy.

Because things will go back to normal eventually and companies will make money again.
This patchwork approach to shutting things down isn't helping of course. One of the biggest crises we'll ever see and the president is more interested in arguing with the press.

Give it more time and more of these nutjob policies. First leg down was brutal, next leg now on deck.
Why do you think the Orange Man started tweeting again yesterday, everyone is looking at the same charts. (printing press running none stop now, basically ussr at this point, the fed will eventually have to outright buy everything)

As an investor who is more concerned about what the market will be 30 years from now,
I had one of my direct reports ask me if I was going to stop contributing to my 401k. Why the hell would I do that? Especially since the company I work for is still matching contributions, I’m playing with free money and my buying power just went way the hell up.

Do you realize what a complete market crash would do to our society and businesses ? Where would you shop for groceries? Where would you find a job ? Your relatives would be close to homeless. Crime would exponentially increase.
Anyone wanting a crash is either mentally ill, delusional, jealous of those who have have investments, or expects the government to create a socialist state. Anyone wanting that doesn’t understand basic economic principles.

The entire world is down. We aren’t in a competitively disadvantaged position. When the world demand for goods and services begins heating up again, the market will be booming.

Did someone in this thread want a total crash? The only ones I've seen publicly wish for a economic calamity are Dims.....Bill Maher comes to mind.

Because eventually this will end, genius.

That's true.....the question is how long is the economy shutdown and how many businesses don't reopen? Those two factors will weigh heavily on how long it takes for the economy and to some degree the markets to recover.

In the OP you said 35-40%. Tanking pretty fast!
