If the stupid causes a recession, then the two are linked.

I'm quite sure I have more experience in equities markets than you, and more knowledge of economics.

I've taken advantage in the downturn to gradually pickup more Masimo stock during the seesaw dips.

It's actually up today with larger than normal trading volume. Coronavirus being respiratory and Masimo being the leader in oxygen saturation/ blood gas pulse oximetery, I think they'll be using a lot of the disposable finger sensors (the razor/ blade theory) that will push quarterly sales through the roof.

I'm holding for long term anyway, let's see where this goes.

I'm too old to go long term anymore...at least I think I am. :confused:

Or as my Grandfather used to say "At my age I don't even buy green bananas anymore!". :D

Damn it! 6 cases of pool shock that'll only be pool shock in a few weeks. I was hoping it would be my gold mine.

Massive slide on the New Zealand stock market has hit right now. the time here is 3pm.

I think its more granular than that.

Some of the hits that blue chips are taking are wildly unwarranted.

Futures are trading down another 5%.

Yep! and it's all because investors weren't impressed by the plan of the administration going forward. Has nothing to do with economic impact... they just don't like his plan. SMH

I'm of the belief the market was going to react like this no matter what... the market (or commentators out there) like to point to something, anything so if it wasn't Trump, it would have been something else. No PARF involved, just that blame looks for reason and it doesn't discriminate based on political party.
