"Just in time supply chains could collapse" as a geographical area could get hit shutting down those parts suppliers. The US auto makers buy 11.6B in auto parts from China...Which is about 3 plus times the next nations supply of parts from China. There in lies the problem if a disruption occurs as a local economy could get hit hard. This VULNERABILITY is a further case against Globalization, and a furtherance of NATIONALISM.

If you recall I talked about it in 09, as a hegemonic nation* like the US loses power Chaos and FRAGMENTATION results...Fragmentation equals Nationalism as each nation seeks to protect it's own.

*The real hegemonic power of the US has been it's Globalized Economy. Where everybody is intertwined with everyone else under the rubric of the USA..and it's central pillar the USD as Reserve Currency.

BTW, I'll buy the dip, not the bump, just sayin'.

The potential drags on the market are very real.

I smell a buying opportunity.

Just wait until that schitt starts to spread state side, and it will. We haven't seen the bottom yet.

Media is licking it's chops.

sacred feces this is more than just a correction.

Just got off the phone with my account. Wanted to know what the max contribution is for a SEP IRA. Cover me boys! I'm going in!! Not today but I'll probably do a trade that will post on Monday. One of my more aggressive funds has Apple, Microsoft and a few others that have been hit hard.

Wish I had some cash to invest here...but just cashed out about 35% of my 401K and with than and my savings...bought a house for cash (and renovated it)...so I am very illiquid. I was regretting the move and crying about paying all the taxes...but not so much now.

S&P is at Jan '18 levels.

Into the valley of death rode the S&P 500.

2889

I'm holding out for sub 2750.

It's almost as if some people WANT the market and economy to crash.
Weird.

"never let a good crisis go to waste"?

Especially if it's manufactured.

I am a rubbernecker. "Holy cow, look at that wreck up ahead!"

my investments and assets are worth the same (as of close yesterday) as on February 6th, 2020 and are up YTD.
So I've lost three weeks.
Where does time go? ;)
