How could that be the bottom? We haven't even felt the impacts of tariffs yet? I have no idea if that was the bottom, but the market bottoms during the storm, not after it passes. 2020 was the perfect example of this. Stocks bottomed 13 months before EPS did. https://t.co/vlOxwfhWHV
David Ingles The level of actual volatility we're currently seeing on the S&P 500 is at historical levels. Comparable periods in last 100 years: - Covid pandemic - European debt crisis - GFC - Black Monday 1987 - Period before WW2 - Great Depression https://t.co/i96fL25h6b
Oh Come On!This was a lot like Covid (and it might not be over): Throughout the entire selloff you can use the prior crash as the "is it cheap enough?" metric. W Covid they were shutting the global economy and we weren't below the Dec 2018 crash low until Max Pain (& Powell's TV appearance) https://t.co/oZkDWssYW6
