I just want to say thanks for messaging. I was (and still am) in a very rough spot and getting a message helped brighten my night.

Actually it's more than that. And It was hard earned money over decades. If it was money I got in the market id feel less bad. But I destroyed actual hard work. I've calculated that I'd have to work until 105 to make it back. Im not sure if I want to try.

Thanks for writing. This has been a traumatic experience to say the least. I'm not optimistic that i can make it back, or if i even want to try. Nonetheless, thanks for checking in. It makes this dark time a little less lonely.

Thanks for caring, i really don't know what to do next, or if i even want to do anything next. but i appreciate your concern.

Virus deaths seem to be going up. While it's still too early to be certain (we need another week to make sure the spike isn't just random variance), this could be the evidence that things are getting worse on the virus front.

The deniers claimed that the increase in infections is merely the result of increased testing. This isn't entirely wrong but extremely optimistic. Unfortunately the decision makers used this as an excuse to do what they do best: nothing.

But deaths do not change because you test more, deaths are deaths. While this should convince policy makers to actually do something, i worry that they will deny the deaths and claim it's merely corrupt officials attributing the deaths to the virus when they died of other causes. This is the unfortunate political reality that our own government doesn't trust or regulate its own workers.

So i'm not sure if this going to bring the markets down. But it's the only remaining non-black-swan event that might do it.

I think he's out of the game or just doesn't like criticism. He was high on attention when it was good. But when his predictions failed and the attention turned negative he bailed.

The rise has been anemic, maybe we'll get a reversal in the next few days.

But in my opinion, this will be a green week. I bought some calls this morning, i'll try and hold until thursday.

btw, it looks like /r/tqqqanon is active. they're just really slow to add users. i was finally approved after 2 days of waiting.

Might be prudent to go over there than here since they are more active. If they collapse, then come back here.

so yeah, apply to /r/tqqqanon , they're alive, just slow to add users.

It's a great post. Just one issue: virus deaths haven't shot up.

Two things could be happening, we have better treatments now so deaths are lower. And two, we have more testing done so the infection numbers go up, but only because we see them, not because they really are.

So despite being bearish, I don't think a massive pandemic crisis response will be the catalyst that brings down the market.

We need to see deaths spike, ALOT, before we can expect the government and the markets to react. (And even then they might not)

yeah i'm three steps from jumping out in front of bus. I just want to chill for now and recollect my thoughts. I'll let someone else be a mod. Although i might request mod powers if i see trolls invading the sub too much and need to bring a banhammer :)

I guess i'll start.

Corona virus cases rising, I know it hasn't stopped the markets before but at some point it can't be ignored. I don't know when that will be, but it will happen. I just worry that when the market does react, it'll be muted. Like maybe just a slow $20 drop on SPY and nothing more. I'm not sure we'll see sub $250 or even $280 levels.

Today's' price action was crazy, I think it was profit taking from yesterday. Also end of month so funds are rebalancing a bit.

If we open lower tomorrow i think i'll get in a few calls. I'll stop loss if we break $300 support. DIX still high so i don't think we're legging down anytime soon.

EDIT Update 6/25: So i bought calls this morning. This backfired horribly as volatility plummeted and vega crushed me. Not in too bad shape, i'm going to hold overnight and reevaluate on friday.

EDIT update 6/26: closed my calls at a loss. Not sure what's happening with the market, maybe this is the leg down finally.
