Why not invest in magic beads, beanie babies or tulips? I'd never, ever buy something with no intrinsic value.

Is what someone who took a 30-minute online "Stock Trading for Dummies" class would say. Without having any understanding of support or resistance, let alone proper financial/capital market analysis. You "buy the dips" if you believe the position is undervalued. Not if the position is just...

Look at this revisionist history. I was exactly right. Attribution bias at its finest. "I put money in a bull market and made money so I must know what I'm talking about." You're showing your WILD ignorance comparing return on equities to an annuity without even looking at risk-adjusted...

Imagine jumping into a stock market discussion and thinking you have any point whatsoever over the short term. I'm looking for Q2 earnings, which will be a DISASTER. Further, I'm assuming you don't remotely understand the difference between "shorting" and "being short." Sounds like you think...

You're missing basic logic and middle school math. We have under 80,000 deaths and the first infection was three months ago. Deaths are growing at an exponential rate. 60K deaths PER YEAR from the flu. So let's say 80K deaths in three months, which is 25% of the year... that's 320K deaths...

The market views the risk/reward ratio in equities as relatively good to fixed income/cash. I wouldn't touch buying equities with a 30 foot poll right now and remain short. But if you're not a long-term investor and you're coming here for input, you might as well just put your cash in a barrel...
