Not to be (overly) ghoulish, but we know the market will come back. Right? Curious on people's thoughts.

Posted by VMan Apr 2 '20, 13:45

I am planning on buying some now or soon.
Indices only, pretty sure.
Only what I "can afford to lose".

But, at some point I am thinking it may be worth to tap the line of credit.
With interest rates effectively zero and the potential ROI.
There would appear to be some serious money to be made.
The window appears to lengthen all the time, so holding off on that until things settle.

Sorry, if anyone is offended.
Apparently I am greedier than I thought.
Sucks to think about how to profit from mankinds' misery.

I think we're heading toward a recession at a minimum. Investing is Russian Roulette at the moment. -- nm - David Apr 2, 14:34 2
- My guess is that a lot of those expectations are already priced in, honestly. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 14:46 1
  - I don’t think Wall Street currently has any real understanding of this. So, the pricing is still way high. -- nm - David Apr 2, 14:52
I think as we get to end of summer, service/travel/hospitality workers out of work won't have any buying power - Max Apr 2, 14:00
I hate to say but, I'm delaying buying a house because I expect the market to drop (at least a little) at some point. - sycor Apr 2, 13:57 1
- some good friends lost their house last time *just now* closed on a place again... -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 2, 14:27
I have *zero* confidence in the market over the next couple years, but I know nothing -- nm - mud Apr 2, 13:56 1
- Yeah, I'm probably sticking to shallow end. I noted in another post, a correction/crash was due IMHO. The crisis has triggered it, but what about - VMan Apr 2, 14:01
part of the reason the market is so high is that there is just so much money out there, 100 trillion? and stocks is the only game in town -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 2, 13:51 2
- Agreed. And with interest at zero, pretty much only place to go for any kind of a return. That is still worrying and Canada has jumped on board - VMan Apr 2, 13:58
- Berkshire Hathaway had over 100 B cash on hand, everyone was wondering why how much is a share? maybe we can pool all our savings to buy one -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 2, 13:53
I’d be very careful about borrowing in order to invest. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 13:50 5
- Yeah. That's on the back burner for a long while. -- nm - VMan Apr 2, 13:53
- Also, if you haven’t seen this, the flowchart here is very helpful. -- (link*) - znufrii Apr 2, 13:53 3
  - Thanks! I have most of that in order, I think. Will definitely review. -- nm - VMan Apr 2, 13:54 2
    - Other than the above, I don’t see a reason not to invest. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 13:56 1
      - At least 10 year horizon. Unless another shoe drops, I think it works out easily. Not even trying to pick bottom. Next week, who knows? -- nm - VMan Apr 2, 14:04
i expect a lot of turbulence when the market comes back (bankruptcies, etc.) and other issues. like will this be a yearly virus now? how will the - tRuMaN Apr 2, 13:50 1
- I think they are pretty close to settled on the yearly thing. Yes, it is very likely. Hell, they are already talking about a fall surge as I recall. -- nm - VMan Apr 2, 13:52
I should probably refrain from giving financial advice :) -- nm - oblique Apr 2, 13:50 1
- No you should give it freely so we can do the opposite :) -- nm - spamlet Apr 2, 13:57
Yes, it'll come back. Some areas faster than others. Also, expect a lot of buyouts and bankruptcies. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 13:48 1
- That's why I am figuring indices. Just figure on overall recovery. Rather than try and target anything. -- nm - VMan Apr 2, 13:50
