To Recap:

1) Market was inflated by most objective accounts

2) Corona virus becoming a real global pandemic

3) Market's worst week since 2009

4) Bernie favorite to come out ahead this Super Tuesday

What is the correct short term play next week?  How do we expect the market to play out in the short term?
I’m no expect but I’d expect it to keep falling. We’ve erased 12% in a week, you have to think this is a good chance for that 20% plus pullback we are long overdue for. Once that happens though if this virus is under control and Bernie isn’t the favorite I wouldn’t be surprised to see it shoot back up.

I agree, not sure we even see 20% drop before back to da moon...gonna eventually be a crash for the ages though.

 
Dow futures down 400. Asia markets look to drop 2% at open.

ETA: Gold showing strength again.

Actually a fairly weak down open imo, could stage a comeback by morning.
Dow, S&P and NQ all fluctuating being -2% to -2.6% the last 10 min I've been watching.

I don't think there is a Bernie effect factored in by WS yet, but just in case I'm wrong I don't plan on getting back into any S&P tracking funds until after SupTues.  Might play a few stocks with side cash.  Not sure which ones yet.  Only in CYDY right now and up slightly,  but it's peanuts...

Does anyone think that the stock market won't be affected if Bernie is elected??

a short term sell of until everyone realizes all of bernies plans are impossible and nothing will be passed. He'll just be an old man occupying the white house for 4 years where nothing gets done. The markets like that.

 
Anyone paying attention to the case numbers outside of China? Thing is highly contagious and we don’t know enough about it. At this point I’m much more on the selling side than buying side. This is a black swan recession event, imo. Outside China numbers will overtake inside China numbers by the end of the month (if testing capacity increases).

Oh, and Mike Pence is out Covid-19 czar :lmao:

Out or our?

 
black swan event?  6 months after outbreak of Ebola/SARS/H1N1/Bird flu the market was higher every time.  What makes this one different?
Not saying it’s a black swan necessarily (though it very well could be), but I’m thinking the difference is the shut down of major sections of the Chinese supply chain, and the risk that similar stoppages could happen in other countries.

 
Is it possible this is the defining moment for amazon?  Could smoke out all remaining retail. 
I mentioned that a few pages ago. You’d think that home delivery, cloud computing and Prime video would sort of make them a stock to want during a panic like this.

They’re attached to basically every etf. No clue what percentage of their shares trade individually, but I’d say the etf pressure will be something that is overwhelming.

Slightly inflated maybe, PE around 19-20 before drop.  However, with 10 year treasury so low it was not overvalued historically.
Slightly inflated P/E?

Have you looked at P/E charts? What about Cape?

Last year was basically gains on pure P/E growth.

 
Black swan isn't a recession.  Usually we are thinking bread lines at the end of a black swan. 
The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. 

This event is a black swan, and will lead to a recession.

Very true as well. That’s part of the reason I’m just sticking with the stocks I like, most which beat earnings and revenue and aren’t really as tied into China shut down. I was up almost 4% on Friday. Missing those crazy recovery days timing loses a lot of future returns. Definitely will be bargain hunting. Still have a lot in cash even with a few purchases, one hit earnings on Thursday night and was up almost 10%.

 
Being in a nosedive just hammers etf people like myself.  Liquidity issues at those funds aside simply the way they weight the funds can get you murdered.  So many people have no options in their 401ks.

There may be a recession and earnings will be affected, in some cases dramatically. But I think a recession would be short lived, and we know the market is forward looking.

I don’t view the stocks I bought last week as highly overvalued, (2 of 3 were 52 week lows) and each has 3, 4, 7% dividends which I believe will stand. I may have bought early but I’m ok with that.
 

There will be no return on a cash position.

Cash isn’t bad for situations like this. I’m with you on forward looking. If I was invested in travel related (or indirectly related like oil if people travel less) or a business whose supply chain runs through China then I’d be more worried especially if they didn’t somehow benefit from this as well, like Amazon.

Cash on hand for these 10-20% drops can give you nice returns. Those drops don’t usually happen overnight like this but they do happen often.

 
CYDY with a PR today touting cancer results.  TBH, I don't see the need for a PR with Thursday's conference call around the corner.  Great results but they could have waited IMO.  Also, the top of the page is still advertising the call on Feb 6--so JV.

For those who are wondering, I still haven't sold a share and remain very positive.  In the last couple of weeks, I've increased my position about 60%.

I agree with this, if this checks the box for our recession/bear I could see things taking back off from there if we get this virus under control. 

ETA my favorite part of these downturns are the pics they post of the guys on the trading floor, looks like me after a college bender.

For sure, market will be positive in 2020.
Doesn't mean this is the bottom. We can still drop 10-20% and end up a few % for 2020. Naz is only down about 4% for the year.  I see a short covering rally in the making. The key in the rally is to see if it becomes a bear flag.

If you market cap weigh the S&P before the drop—I believe it was trading at closer to a 26x multiple.  The markets weren’t nearly as dependent on the top 5-6 companies in previous corrections. 

 
Rambling thoughts from a marketing guy...

As @siffoin pointed out before all of the virus fear hit, he is thinking we may swing to lower stock returns due to being too much above the averages.  This is still in play IMO.

Now, with Cyrus the Virus (for you Con-Air fans), there are sectors that are going to get hit hard for a while.  Travel, public events, movie theaters etc.  Even if there was a cure and/or vaccination RIGHT NOW, and we KNOW FOR A FACT that no one else will get sick, or die, people are going to be hesitant to travel.  DIS would be one that I believe will feel this for about six months after we get a handle on the virus.

AAPL is going to suffer this quarter, and most likely into the next.  In my uneducated opinion, production is going to be the reason sales are down, not demand.  It has been amazing how Apple takes a current product, improves it a little, tosses the word "pro" behind it, and demand skyrockets.  Tim Cook cited that production was getting better day by day. 

AMZN will also have issues due to supply, but that will only be a temporary issue once the virus has been resolved (if).  Long term, I think Amazon will start having bigger issues with the quality of the products that they sell (knock offs).  I'm already looking harder for fake reviews, and possible counterfeit products than I had in the past.   

Short term winners?  Costco, Home Depot, Lowes, P&G, grocery stores, and whoever makes those dang masks.  I think the earning numbers will spike this and next quarter.  I would sell once the fear subsides and demand for those products drop off the table.  People have not stopped buying, but have changed what they are currently buying, the amount they are buying (preppers), and from whom they are buying.  

***Before following any of my recommendations, please re-read line #1 several times, and do your own homework.***

 
The market stabilization and the proactive nature of this Fed gave me confidence...I'm 50% back into the market as of a few hours ago.   Gonna wait a few more days to see how to play it...could go either direction, all in or all out.   Just keeping my ear to the ground.

MRK is having a good day. My advice for CYDY holders is to investigate why.

 
Anyone paying attention to cases outside of China number? China's data is useless, #### them, who knows if it can be trusted. I would think Italy and South Korea are much more reliable sources of data, and if you dive into the numbers, the probability of a pandemic becomes clear. 

Outside of China will basically roll from 2k to 10k in a week. Clearly super contagious, clearly deadly to people with preexisting conditions... While we get this optimism today, I'm looking for individual stocks to short, and unfortunately I'm a little late to travel stocks (although I think they've got more pain to come), so prob need to look elsewhere.
