china and korea recovered from covid but the stock market still continue drop. how to explain?

After selling underwear, one is literally naked. in time of turbulence, naked body is exposed to element and could resulted in injury or even fatal.

Don’t get too carried away... to make big money requires huge capital... concentrate on more important things in life...even if index fell to 500 and you invest 100k... it is hardly life changing event....

In the example, do you think your friend make enough to make a difference in his life? How much total he make using how much capital?

Interesting that earlier in this thread, everyone were talking about the futility of market timing. Now many market timing posts..

Every economic recession is different and always hit earlier than expected. Covid 19 was Infront of us for over 2 months and few have the training or knowledge to foresee it's destruction until it's too late.

U.S monitor worldwide outbreak constantly. Those has access to intelligence report are privileged.

bear: FIND THE BOTTOM!! 

so despite warren buffett getting grilled for years at AGMs for sitting at 60% cash, he is now the smartest? 

Be careful, you may run out of bullets too soon.
I expect deflation to happen. When deflation happens, money becomes more valuable.

With US interest near zero, QE kicked off and money flood the market with helicopter spinning, how can it be deflation?

this is interesting... deflation.

i dun know if we have ever seen real deflation in malaysia since 1957... i can't recall it.

Warren Buffett cash is only 25% I think. He is heavily invested all the time. 25% cash is not really sitting on cash although his absolute amount is gigantic ...

25% of Berkshire in cash
It is not his style to time the market with 60% cash...

Show us the same screen but orders filled later?

What if by next month we see decreases in infections in all countries or at least the majority of the earlier infected countries? Possible? How will market react?

Im less worried about deflation. I'm more worried about stagflation. Cash also no use.

I tend to stay away from DCA as I feel it is not always what it claims to be.

My preference is to buy on recovery. Not aiming for the exact bottom, maybe 10, 20% away from the bottom after I have positive signals on market recovery. Yes, markets can still go haywire after that. Tough luck if that is the case.

If I buy on the downward phase,
a. I will be worried, how much lower will it drop? SWAN if I buy on the uptrend phase.
b. Better use of my money at overall lower price than with DCA price (spreaded over a bigger price range).

Feel free to jump in if you see flaws in my thinking so that I can assess and modify, etc  (besides saying market timing does not work in most cases). Ha.

Cheerio.
