This bear is excruciating to watch...death by a thousand cuts. Some bounce expected but with the global economy skiding precipitously do not expect it to last long. H2 is shaping up to be alot more interesting.
Really painful to watch...never thought I would see the index this low. Insurance companies must be gnashing their teeth. On the other hand Tbills yields are low and banks are liquid, you would expect some action on equities. The market is lonely and deserted
Nothing is impossible. Few people saw this coming. Its time to buy!
DON'T BUY!
Meaning? Don't buy NOW or don't buy AT ALL?
Don't buy at all. I believe better
buying opportunities will reappear at least 3 years hence. This is because one the bottom of the market is reached it may take time for the market to start rising meaningfully.
Hold lots of hard
cash . There will be better things to buy even if not shares.
So one should wait until August 2022 before going back in?
The 3 years is my educated

guess. While Elliott waves are useful in forecasting prices it may not work well in forecasting time/duration. So for me I would concentrate more on the structure of the waves as the bear market matures to forecast a bottom. Having said that i tried to apply Elliotticians' experience in arriving at the 3 year timeframe because the condition that pertain to a bear market (especially of stocks) may not allow a quick recovery of the market once the bottom is hit.
It is also useful to remember that at some point trading may be halted in the market to try to stem the slide. The government will be working overtime to retain some semblance of the public's confidence in the market
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
