    Yesterday, I sold every stock I owned.  Even from my IRA.  20 years in the markets.  All cash.  Did I fuck up?
    If you made money, you didn’t fuck up. Almost impossible to catch the bottom and top.

    Who knows.  If you're cashed out forever,  then probably yeah.  But nothing wrong with a break.

    That's why I sold.  Before the last two weeks, I was content riding to the bottom.  My feeling is the bottom will be very deep and is still a few months away.  

    Think of how many jobs are being lost that will not easily come back.  Travel, restaurants, retail.  The list seems vast and mind boggling.

    not really.  Large hotels, restaurant chains and mall/big box retailers are all going to suffer.  Everyone will be affected.

    I agree. There’s only so much the fed can pump into the market. I think this is a fake rally

    This.  The shoe still hasn't dropped from the Fed propping up the economy for YEARS during and after the housing crash/ Great Recession.  You can't print money forever without feeling the effect of doing so.

    For better or worse,  there's no evidence that you can't pump for a long period.  

    I think the ride will be bumpy,  but I don't there's another big correction on the horizon.  The government acted so aggressively that I think we'll be okay for 90 days.  I certainly see two quarters of GDP contraction though.

    I went heavy into Amazon and JPM several weeks ago and am pleased thus far.  I've been in Google heavy since probably 08 and im not too concerned about them either.

    Quarter over quarter, year over year, for ten years to pay for that $1.2 trillion tax cut. Brilliant, brilliance in all its brilliancy.

    Unemployment is already higher than it ever was during the Great Recession. It's only going to get worse.  Lots of high paying jobs are being lost.  

    You can't tell me that a $1200 check and some bullshit (and it is bullshit) loan program will fix this.
