Every bear needs a bull to make money off of. Today was brutal no doubt about that. Its a bear market, no doubt about that. These Fed induced rallies tend to last a week or two. I’ll wait a couple of days then load back up on puts and ultra shorts, no doubt about that.
Its good to be a contrarian, but only if its fact based. In your average recession equities lose 30% of their value (per Karl on Ticker Forum.) This will be no average recession. Its already astonishing at the speed of the collapse. Encouraging people to go long even via dollar cost averaging at this point is beyond stupid. Might as well buy real estate, you are lighting money on fire either way. Most of us don’t have “decades” to save as we will need that money for various things at various points in our lives. Buying a house, paying for children and or medical expenses come to mind.
What the Fed is doing has just created another sucker rally, caviat emptor.
