My poor retirement account. Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch.

401k/IRA goes down --> SPY puts in my trading account go up --> effectively a penalty free distribution?

I have a feeling Tesla is going to be green today as retail piles into TSLA from the other meme stocks.

Trump gonna be super pissed. He’s a huge germaphobe coupled with the fact that the market is melting down will cause him to be extra erratic. Apparently he was very angry with the Americans that were allowed to come back to the US from the cruise ship.

This is assuming there’s no massive Trump panic intervention from the Fed and injecting even more liquidity. Gonna be funny how much oversubscribed the Fed’s reverse repo gets over the next few days to weeks.

Is there even any chance they could scale up production in time to stop the worst effects of the virus? Factories have been closed for weeks now, global tourism will be down, anyone who was thinking of traveling during the spring and summer has probably already canceled their reservations.

Probably will take every country that can make it getting permission.

But all the other poo poo has been known for a month now and didn't stop this market. You would figure it would rally around news of a treatment that can work.

Low barrier business, race to the bottom as everybody sells their body for worthless currency or for pennies on the bitcoin.

I think coffee is a good idea though. And meth, demand will go through the roof as everybody suffers.

Honestly though, this isn't bad at all. Don't call it "stocks on sale" or "the insanity is over".

All those hedge funds using FICC sponsored repo to essentially trade junk spreads for bills and then re-lever up might be sweating some rolling margin calls today. Fed will have to cut rates again to keep the charade up because the long end is running out of control. Ironically while this forces curve back into contango in immediate term the parallel shift down in the short to medium term just further hammers financials like regional banks and insurance who are already starved on net interest income.

VX with a front month inversion and >20 is not ideal buying conditions for equities. If anyone's hoping to buy with "blood in the streets" you won't see that until ZN/ZB also crater.

Oh, yeah, I'm gonna wait a little bit. Not gonna do options on it, just might start buying shares as it falls and then hold onto it for awhile. Maybe people will just stay indoors and watch their streaming service? I'm all hung over right now so I must fight to not make poor decisions in the morning

I’m gonna do a test and buy stocks that have had a huge dip for whatever reason but still represent something useful, e.g. Wayfair. They’re owned by fascist collaborators but I bet people are too dumb to remember that after a few months.

Basically anything that’s low and has been for a while, expecting them to go up at some point. The market is not reasonable, so they probably will :shrug:
