"Bear markets are always a reminder of lessons forgotten."
"Bear markets are always a reminder of lessons forgotten."
"...the markets are addicted to Fed interventions"
"And then there’s the VIX which typically moves higher when stocks collapse. The VIX is forming a bullish falling wedge formation which could resolve in a big move higher."
"There is little reason to be overly aggressive in your positioning currently."
"...the Fed is coming up with lots of new ways to give handouts to the very wealthy."
"The Fed, in an effort to stop this, announced several weeks ago that it would be buying everything. And I do mean EVERYTHING."
"Be careful. The bear market isn’t over yet…not by a long shot."
"Similar questionable “fundamentals” that those dot-com companies used to inflate their share prices have us potentially headed right into an even worse recession than originally thought."
"...if you want to get an idea of where the markets are heading you need to watch credit."
"The Fed managed to stop this massacre by announcing it would backstop everything."
"You can’t “buy low,” if you don’t have anything to “buy with.”"
