The Dow is on pace for its worst month since the Great Depression

The month of March has rolled in like a ferocious lion for bullish stock-market investors, leaving little but carnage in its aftermath, as uncertainties about the effects of the coronavirus outbreak abound.

Besides obliterating the bullish trend the plunge has done a lot of technical damage, with a bearish, so-called death cross forming in the Dow, where the 50-day moving average — which many chart watchers use as a short-term trend tracker — crosses below the 200-day MA, which is widely viewed as a dividing line between longer-term uptrends and downtrends.It is important to note that the market’s reaction isn’t necessarily irrational to experts.

Cardillo added the “collapse in the stock market in such a short period of time suggests the worst fears of the unknown are being discounted. Indeed, calling a bottom is very difficult, but value is beginning to pop up in many sectors.

Sløk notes that the lockdown in the Hubei province capital lasted 50 days and extrapolates that based on current attempts to limit the movement of people in the U.S. economic activity may return to normal by May, with a market rebound, perhaps, in anticipation.

Are “they” going to allow end of quarter statements to go home in such devastated shape Just don’t think so.....

This is essentially a politically motivated great depression Death toll doesn't even justify 1% of the response

It's only the first leg down.

And second great depression just around corner for big banks to own everything!

This will be called the Great Crash.

It's going lower before it goes higher

It won't bottom much further. Enough with the doom and gloom.

As Dow wipes out over 3 years of stock-market gains, here’s a warning about calling the bottomSome investors might feel a strong temptation once the market finally shows some stability to declare that the lows are in. But some Wall Street veterans... Subtlety uninformative Microsoft had over 700% increase in On Demand Services & Teams just last week from work from home demand. Amazon can’t keep up w demand.Families can’t get laptops for home schooling bc sold out. Calling the bottom (or any sort of market timing prediction) is no better than gambling. Timing the market isn't a winning strategy.
