<div class="bbWrapper">This is crazy.<br /> <br /> Last month I pulled several thousand dollars out of mutual funds. I'm planning to use the money in a few months and I figured the market would dip soon, wanted to be safe.<br /> <br /> The market kept going up instead, husband would make jokes about how I should have waited a few more days ...</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Everyone knew the market was overpriced for far too long, yet the different mechanisms installed after 2008 made a bubble explosion difficult (read articles published in 2019 on the "possible" upcoming 2020 recession, it is quite interesting). What we see here is a slow "explosion" of the market triggered by the coronavirus epidemic. Tbh, it could have been triggered by anything else, but well, it is like that.<br /> Now, why was the market overpriced? Money has been cheap for a long time now, this money was invested into the market which saw itself having "too much money" and inflated and inflated stock prices. As long as companies were profitable, why stopping? Then the virus appeared in China, markets panicked to see companies profits falling because of the disappearance of Chinese consumers and suddenly, everyone remembered that in fact, the stocks were overpriced anyway. We now know that what happened in China will also happen in th rest of the world, which means an even bigger blow for companies. Imagine: after not being able to sell because China couldn't deliver, your own clients are placed in quarantine!! So overpriced stock market + impossibility to get supply + impossibility to sell merchandise + future recession = a financial balloon slowly deflating to come back to "actual" prices. Although as we speak, many companies are undervalued, the time to buy is between now and the next three months!! <br /> <br /> It is interesting because quite unique: in the 1929 or 2008 crash, the economy was down because people did not have money to buy. In our case, people have the money....but cannot physically go buy!! So more money is only going to partially solve the problem, what we need is to get people out of the house and into the shops!! <br /> <br /> I am pretty sure we'll remember this day for a long time, it is historic. Sad...but historic!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I think the news of crude dropping along with the growing fear of the threat of CV worldwide really set the stage for the plunge this morning. I watched it open, and it almost seemed as though everyone just knew the circuit breakers were going to trip, and within just a few short minutes it happened. <br /> <br /> The huge concern regarding CV was the driving force, but oil prices plummeting overnight was the straw that finally set it in motion.<br /> <br /> I for one don't believe this is anywhere near the bottom yet, and tomorrow (Tue.) my guess is it will gap up in the a.m. and open at 3100 or so. I think there is a bit of wind in them sails yet, but won't last the day and close out again lower, but not much. <br /> Have done quite well the past few weeks but this drop today was a punch in the gut. OPEC wasn't even considered in the equation 48 hours ago, at least for me. Hope to pull off a hail mary in the a.m. with a few stranglers. <br /> Then all cash on the sidelines for fire sales...</div>

Which makes the movement of courses somewhat counterintuitive. You might think that food goes up in such a situation? Nope, it is a major part of most etf shares. In my opinion, you see here not just the effect of the corona virus going on but what some people called the ETF bubble. I mean, downturning in recessions is normal - the question is in which dynamic and we have seen now a decline of 20% within 4 weeks. A median bear market is around 4 months.
