Maybe we're witnessing the "only game in town" effect?
Like where else can people even put their money if the value of it in society goes down? If you're a billionaire or whatever, you're not going to hoard dollar bills or billions worth gold bars and hand sanitizer under your bed probably. A lot of it just has to go back into stock or something.
So I think after pulling out a week ago for big losses, many investors decided they didn't really have much else to lose either way. Especially if the governments are just printing money for everyone. Money's gotta go somewhere right? lol

also there might be a realization that long term this crisis will be a dent but not a catastrophe for most companies. some miht even profit from it (amazon and netflix to name a few)
The US definitely has a lot of ways to be resilient...but how about the rest of the world?
And with China being to first to recover and basically in a position to profit from it while being seen as the cause will there be a push to punish them especially if others are struggling? I can see these things having profound consequences on the global economy...but how much does this translate to the US stock market?

I mean, ex-US has also rebounded strongly.

I mean isn't it a good idea to go ahead and put it in and have it on standby so you're ready to invest if the opportunity strikes. It usually takes at least a day or two to transfer funds no? I don't see any downside as long as you were planning on investing that money
Never try and pick a bottom. This is a famous saying in the investing world for a reason. We were down 35% at one point last week, but of course people will say "but what if it goes lower". Don't be greedy. If you're a long term investor starting at 35% down is a pretty wonderful starting point.
Again, their projections sucked at first. So removed from reality.
You could always put half in now and the other $1000 in a week or two.
I think I'm sticking to my current plan of letting the funds that I use trend following strats in just go with the signal and be pissed I didn't pull the plug in Feb instead of March, even though I briefly thought about breaking with a still positive signal back then.
The rest of my cash will DCA in at the beginning of May and once a month for half a year. Even if we actually do get a very V-shaped recovery that should allow me to buy in at some decent enough levels, especially if the pandemic seems to pick up pace again after the summer.

Their unemployment projections were 1 million off last week. That's not too bad in such a unprecedented situation
Maybe if they're willing to wait enough years. People forget.
Bought some bank stock (ING group,AEX) that was on it's lowest since 2009 and some IWDA ETF last week. Still have some extra cash ready for when i see some opportunities.
Many cruise lovers (myself included) loooooove cheap cruises. I can only see them going cheaper. Especially combined with plane tickets to the ports.
Agreed. I think RCL will come back eventually, but they'll definitely need to be patient w/ it. Cruise lines are still one of the most cost-effective methods to vacation there is.
Not to be a dick in general but people are dumb as shit, they will flock right back to a cruise because it will be cheap and they want to celebrate being out of lock down at some point, thats slightly oxymoronic of them.
Look at New York yesterday. Tons of people ignored social distancing to view the USNS Comfort arriving. Big ship arriving, let's go see it and risk getting sick.
Fully-loaded cruise ships departed even after the Diamond Princess fiasco. People simply assumed the same would not happen to them.
And if you get quarantined on board for an extra 2+ weeks its a really cheap way to live!
lol

Cruise Line are very profitable and they are so cheap now. Unless they go bankrupt.
You keep posting this every day. Quit being a skinny weiner and just put the money in. Have it on standby to invest when the time comes.
Ever since I bought 3M on 3/23, they have been steady Eddie on the way up. My only wish is that I had more money to put in.
I don't know if it will "tank" like it did previously. I still think we'll go lower, but it'll be more gradual. The Fed is injecting unlimited capital directly into the market's jugular on a daily basis and none of the bad news coming out is a surprise. Something shocking and unexpected would need to happen for the market to drill again. I expect something will... eventually.
Yeah, looks like I sold out way too early. Not going to chase here, wtf.
looking at other drops like this the usual time frame for it to test its lows again might like in 2.5 years
Probably later this week when federal unemployment numbers come out
Wait, why do some peeps here keep trying to time/understand the market lmao?
As though the market was at any time predictable -- in the most unpredictable time ever -- let's predict, and get upset when our predictions don't pan out?
The "why isn't it doing what I thought it would do" posts are lighthearted sarcasm, right?

This thread is wallstreetbets, and has been for the last month.
The market is right now is just Wiley Coyote running off the cliff before he looks down.
It'll get changed if it gets back to bull, or if it dumps. Whichever is first.
Some people predicted. News about the virus started in January before the crash. There was a dip in the market at the end up January. These are the people who got out. Then the market recovered in February. Probably because of the people who thought the Jan dip provided stock buying bargains. Wrong. The market crashes big time.
When there was a dip in the market in January, people should have asked... why? The answer was right there in the news. Yes, the virus was a black swan, but it didn't happen overnight. The warnings were there.
I started noticing signals in early feb about the market and posted about it in the investment thread. It was obvious a pullback was coming, maybe even a correction, but I was wrong about the speed of the decline and fast descent into a bear market. I don't think this is something anyone could have predicted. There were a lot of positive indicators at the time (early feb) but you started to see some big divergences. Warning signs that a trend was going to change. The point isn't to time the market to the absolute top and bottom. It is to locate signal signs to see if the market is signaling a change is coming sometime in the near future.

Smart people have always said that the stock market ≠ the economy. What's stopping the two from diverging further and does that portend bad things?
