This reminds me of one the market wizards book (I forget which one), but he recalls starting out during this time period and during that crash everyone was panicking as you said. He mentioned befuddled to his colleague that X ticker was showing bid price at $Y on his teletron, when they said no bids. And his colleague told him "Sell it to your computer then!" :lol:

90% chance it expires in the money. Let it be called away and sell puts if you want to stay in, or just buy them back.

I didn't think it would be so fortuitous, but it appears it waited even for grandma. I hope you packed your bags. Last time I am holding your hand.

I made no less than 3-4 threads here the past 1.5 weeks warning them not to sell (that we were at or near the bottom). I just got downvoted instead. The world needs baggies.

This guy gets it. To add, China doesn't have the ability to tank the US bond market, if they tried to market sell their entire holdings at once, it would move their holdings value underwater.

No upside, you'd be better taking a flyer on something like Rivian

They will tell you we're not crashing. Bond traders are the smartest traders in the world. If this were 1987, you'd see them go parabolic. Instead they're getting sold into the ground the past 2 days.

Now you know why the plebs of Rome cheered on Caesar as he took power. Same parallels.
