Market Crashes While I’m On Vacation — MAXIMUM HAPPENINGS

Apropos, isn’t it? I barely made it out of yesterday green and today the rug has been pulled, with the Dow on pace to plummet more than 600. I’ve been waiting for this moment since this whole COVID recovery began in April and I find it grotesquely odious that it should happen whilst I’m en route home from my mini vacation.

What more is there to say? The dollar is soaring, bonds are firm, commodities poleaxed, and stocks are getting skinned alive.

My best advice for the day is to avoid the temptation to buy everything at the open, while also avoiding the temptation to short into the hole. It’s entirely possible we bounce off the lows and then crash the close.

Be patient, trim losses when your stocks reach -5% and have your worst case scenario be something you can easily come back from.

    Too late, Alexa already reports on you; they just haven’t started smashing in your front door yet.

    Exciting …but nothing new. Stocks off, but perceived safety kneejerk move remains: buy dollar, TLT, etc. I bought TBT this morning, but will be out tomorrow if the world doesn’t start agreeing with me that treasuries are not safe..
