    yep, well i guess still a fork in the bull market, absent some crazy spike that brings up back over 2714 at the close, the 11-year bull run officially ends today. what a run it was though while it lasted!

    A great run indeed. Let’s see how long this bear market will last, hopefully won’t be long since it probably would mean the coronavirus is getting contained sooner rather than later

    whelp folks, we just made some history on the downside today ... looks like this was the indeed the largest % drop on a "closing" basis since at least 1987 if not ever on record i'll have to go check on this one to confirm. wow!

    I did some buying too but ready to hold them for awhile. We should see some kind of bounce soon even though it is a dead cat, getting very oversold.

    outside of 1987 you'd have to go back to 1929 to find the last time the DJ30 closed down over -9% in a day.

    it did that on on november 6th, of 1929. closed down -9.92% that day so we even did worse on that one today lol :p

    agreed, the stuff im buying right now are long term holds, not for trades. these are the kind of markets u build out long positions in, we will see a bounce, but i feel we got atleast another 10% down to go.

    Yep not a bad time to build some long term position as long as you are ready for more pain ahead ;)

    Well most of my IRA got wiped out today, 75%.
    Looked at lunch and I was like meh down 10% nbd.
    Check AH and yea, wiped another 50% off that. Shows me for buying a bull 3x after a 34% down day instead of a 3x bear that I had been watching for a week.

    oh well it’s only money right

    just a quick visual on this in the form of a chart:

    pretty amazing to be in the same category as the '87 crash (as far as "worst since" goes), and also the crash of 1929 :p

    Yeah holding those 3X ETF for too long is risky, you can make your money back in the future at some point ;)
