    Corrections/crashes over 10% practically always happen much faster than recoveries. It took almost 2 years to recover from the 1987 crash, and that happened for no real reason (other than maybe program trading). This recovery is happening much faster than the late 80s bounce--which happened with no coronavirus and a robust economy. Or look at Dot-Com (took 7 years to reach ATHs again), 2008-9 (almost 6 years) and corrections in 2011, 2015-16, 2018, etc. (1-2 month corrections took 6-12 months to recover...and those were much more shallow than this one).

    This is Trading 101 stuff everyone should know but many here are still in pre-K.

  6. In my opinion, Trump will make “strong” statements but will avoid trade wars in weak economy state. He is smart enough don’t kill economy completely that is his most argument to win.

    Nah, the person I was replying to was a know-it-all who knows next to nothing...lots of them around here and I don't mind exposing them. The betas can play "nice" but I'm beyond that.
