#1 = a Buy signal. Maximum panic, total capitulation.

#2 I would offer that the Street's confusion stems from not knowing what direction the post-virus US-China trade situation may take. The sword of Damocles should be hanging over the heads of our box stores.

I suspect all sins will be forgiven once the crisis has ended, but with the Orange Man no one can be certain.

#3 I'd suggest they never know nada - they're like tribal shamans: dancing in masks and calling on spirits, and getting away with it because there is nothing to compare them with.

#8 I suspect a number of cool heads are gobbling things up for the day when things return to normal a few will join the super wealthy.

#9 Rukeyser’s show was always buy some, sell some. Never totally wrong, never totally right. The subscription fees just keep rolling in.

#10 No Rukeyser here.

Predict that the market will bottom out within next few weeks and recover rapidly.

The real economy will take longer but confidence will return and OrangeMan will be re-elected.

And yes, I've (already started to) put my $$ where my mouth is. Risk on.

#12 It will bounce up and down in the next few weeks but Trump and various governors will start to relax the lockdown sooner than expected and the voices of confidence will become louder. Smart money's being deployed now.
