I lightened up on overnight inverses UVXY etc during first pullback earlier, yay. Learned that the hard way, to buy the dip sell the rip. Will follow VIX closely this week
If today doesn’t prove it nothing will .A true 6-12 month bear mkt will never happen in nominal terms ever . The govt will print to eternity and $20 milk first .
Perfecttion....now we can prepare for the Santa clause rally into the end of the year with a minimum 5% gain. Free money continues.
That’s bs . Bear mkts are measured in time and price . Time is what gets people to sell and feel real pain . It’s what washes excesses out and changes behavior. After an 11 yr bull mkt we stayed down for 5 weeks and within 3 months we were back near ath’s .Few felt any realized loses as it was in a blink of an eye . Now people believe stronger than ever they can never lose .
The only behavior that’s changed the last decade is short sellers . They’ve been taught like pavlov’s dogs to cover shorts fast or be wiped out .Thus few shorts will benefit from a crash any more than they would a normal trade as they won’t hold it .
