    Congrats to those of you who have reaped the rewards from the past few days. Especially if you've been caught up in this mess from the beginning. Just remain buckled in because the ride isn't over with yet. But, let the past few days be evidence that you will indeed recover every last red cent, and then some, as long as you do not jump off of the roller coaster. Because you only get hurt when you jump off. Hang in there. This ride will be over with eventually.

    Exclamation Re: Rod's Account Talk

    Interesting perspective... heard this on CNBC this evening. You may also have heard it:

    "History teaches us the deeper the decline, the higher the bounce, and the deeper the retest."

    Darrell Cronk, Wells Fargo Wealth & Investment Management

    On average, most restests of lows occur within a couple of months. But, as we all know, we aren't in an "average" situation. If Monday was indeed the bottom, its retest will likely come sooner rather than later. There is always the chance that the bottom will not be retested. If so, then I will miss out on some monster gains in the future. But, I am not willing to take that chance because my history teaches me that when I get a case of FOMO, I am usually late to the party. Therefore, I'll just continue to relax in (G) and wait for that retest.

    Same.

    Current statements by the US president counteracting medical experts and driving to force "open" the economy by Easter indicate new lows in the coming weeks. Happily 80/20 G/C until we get a solid COVID-19 plan, cohesion between Exec Branch/Congress/Governors/medical experts, and declining US daily deaths from COVID-19.

    Although President Trump had/has my vote, and has my prayers and support, I certainly do not agree with his statement. But, aside from it, Mr. Market will do what it's going to do.... whatever that will be. At any rate, the economy will likely be reopened in a staggered fashion. Beginning with the least affected counties within each state. But, my humble opinion does not see that occurring across the vast majority of the US until May at the earliest... after the COVID-19 peak, which is forecast to occur in mid-April, on average across the US.

    I'm new to this Forum,,this is my first post. I'm looking to retire inside of 2 yrs so I can't take chances like I used to. Two weeks ago I sought refuge and IFT'd 100% into (G) but like most everyone else, I took a severe beating before I could get there. I'm thinking there'll be a retest - maybe as soon as next week. like you guys, I plan to continue in the (G) and wait for the retest - thanks to FOMO I can't really say I'm relaxing though.

    I hear you, and I want to ensure I was not taking this to a political discussion. The US presidents, whomever it may be, and their statements and actions factor into this event and how it affects Mr. Market.

    Welcome Chas! No worries... we've all taken our beatings at one time or another. You're in good company.

    Do not let your guard down. Continue to be extremely careful navigating through this minefield. Capital preservation should be our goal in this environment until Mr. Market has stabilized. But, if you find yourself caught in a bull trap, you cannot say that you were not warned.

    I was thinking about jumping to safety today.. I've ridden this out so far and that was my plan.. I'm only 25% invested but this dragging out is messing with my head.

    Question Re: Rod's Account Talk

    Let's see if this comes to fruition...

    Article is dated 29 Mar 2020.

    "In this article I will explain why it's highly likely that, after the current bear market rally runs its course (likely within the next few days), US equities will reverse to the downside and initiate a second major leg down in the current bear market cycle, resulting in a collapse in the value of the S&P 500 index which extends far beneath recent lows established on Friday, March 20. In this article I will describe only one methodology which I have employed to arrive at this forecast.

    The method I describe in this article is relatively simple. I provide a list of historical bear markets since 1929 and classify them by their severity. I then briefly review some of the economic crises and recessions associated with those bear markets and compare them in terms of severity to the current and forthcoming economic crisis and recession that's associated with the global COVID-19 outbreak.

    It will briefly explain why the current and forthcoming economic crisis and recession is likely to be significantly more severe than any other economic crisis and/or recession since the Great Depression. In this context, I will show that it will be quite fortunate, indeed, if during the current bear market cycle, the S&P 500 index manages to establish a bottom somewhere in the range of 1876 to 1463.

    My current 'base case' scenario (my working hypothesis) is that the current bear market will ultimately fall into the 'severe' category. In this particular analysis, this would imply a trough for the current bear market cycle in the range (S&P 500 index) of 1876 to 1463."

    It sure is... if it comes to pass. Of course, no one really knows what will happen. But, it is an interesting read.
