Yes, you think that. That's a personal political opinion of yours that is certainly not universally shared, and that I will not respond to since one thing I appreciate about this forum is the lack of political wrangling.I think people got a little spooked last night with the speech. He sounded like he was going to choke. It was not delivered well and added to a lot of confusion.+1
Yeah, things got pretty crazy here in late 2008 through early 2009.IMO it's nowhere near that bad (on the forum), so far.
Perhaps I should have been more detailed in my answer: I haven't seen very many forum members saying they were going to sell everything tomorrow, or move to Mexico to retire, yet. I haven't even seen many, or ANY thread titles indicating such. IMO it's nowhere near as crazy here on the forum as it was in 2008-2009, so far.

It wasn't meant to be political. Many people were left puzzled. I never said I was going to sell everything. I have been actively buying today. I don't own stocks, equity funds, or bond funds. I just buy plain boring corporate bonds, preferred stock, and CD when they go on sale.

They have a reloader. Unlimited bullets really.

Nevertheless, it was. Your political opinion is just that; YOUR opinion, and is far, far from universally shared.

Some people say the Fed has unlimited ammo.
They can shoot with a machine gun if they need to.
I dunno. I am just an average investor, not an economist.

The market will start moving up once there is some evidence of containment of the virus. Until then it will be in a bottoming process. It has caused some mass hysteria that I nor anyone here has any control of. But it's really not going to end this world. Many businesses will suffer over the next 6-10 months and some will close down, but that's the way it's always been for the past several hundred years.
