When people say "don't fight the Fed", I totally get it and agree completely. But at the same time, I always cringe when I hear someone on TV (or social media) say things like "just close your eyes and buy" or "buy with both fists." Overthinking may be counterproductive, but the opposite can be just as bad.

Not at all surprising seeing how many millennials rushed to Robin Hood to buy their first shares ever of Tesla. A lot of longs and shorts both will probably get punished severely by TSLA.

I was initially of the opinion that the Coronavirus scare would be just like all of the other pandemic scares of the last 40 years or so. And that we would look back a year from now and barely remember hearing about the Coronavirus. But now it looks like this could be months away from containment, possibly even toward late Spring/early Summer. This could definitely smack the global economy around over the next few months.

No. I'm not sure what I wrote that would imply I was OK with bailing out banks. I was opposed to that 100%.

I would benefit massively if Sanders or Warren won the election this year and started wiping out student loan debt. Yet I still can't support that kind of moral hazard being set in motion. Many people saved up for college (or their parents did), and I can only imagine how disgusted they would feel to see a bunch of financially irresponsible millennials get most if not all of their doubt wiped out by the stroke of a pen.

The fact that people are reacting to this correction with “the decline just feels orderly” makes me wonder if there is still too much complacency, and that we may be nowehere near enough fear for a bottom to form.

I'm no dollar bull, but it still seems like it may have some gas left in the tank (and still pretty oversold). 92's in DXY could come and test the trendline. Once rates and dollars don't hang over gold's head, it will probably be a great buy. I'm on the sidelines til then.

Seems like this has been happening like clockwork...at the same time each day in AH trading. There may still be some shenanigans left with these volatility instruments.

Here's the release from Apple back in December that mentions the software update in early 2018 : www.apple.com/iphone-battery-and-performance/

I may look into alternatives like Android when I'm ready for a new phone (hopefully at least a couple of years from now).
