All he cares about is money. And part of the panic is directly on him. I know that’s why i said it wrong for him to claim positive gains but also wrong to put negative gain on him during this period. And I would say all leaders ha e officials that are causing panic, but nobody is doing more damage then social media and media itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it’s good advice either but the market is in uncertainty. The trouble is determining how long this bear market will continue to go. There is potential for short positions with short term profits in mind but long term view would not be terrible to buy at undervalued large cap stocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he went out of his way to sign the Friday bump makes it clear that he has zero sense of what's going on. Investors know this and so do most functioning adults. When the largest economy in the world is led by an idiot, you can expect everything to fall apart. blue_gold_84, Bigblue204, Tracker and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went on national TV and said everything was calming down and to buy the dip, knowing full well that the gov't had zero response and that things were clearly going to get worse.

If you believe that stocks will never rise back up and cross these lows then idk what to say. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudlow like many others in the Trump administration should not be i the positions they are in, they are there to appease and back slap Trump, once they are of no use they are gone.

The idiot in chief does damage by lying to people, preventing testing, telling people to go to work, saying everything is fine when it isnt, blaming governors etc etc. The buck stops with him or it doesnt.

Buy whatever you want. If you think it's good policy for a government official to tell everyone to buy stock when he knows things are only going to get worse over the next while, then I don't know what to say.

JCon Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 People tend to panic when there is a leadership failure. So, if the US is panicking now, I'm sure it's because of her emails. The Unknown Poster and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see on social media is making fun of the idiots hording. Plus, if media was spreading panic people wouldnt be ignoring health experts' advice, which a lot are.

Or, if you waited until after March 6th, when Kudlow was gas lighting investors, you could have bought at an even cheaper rate. I mean, if you're locking in long term, why would you buy at the start of the crisis? The only people saying that things were going to get better were the President and his Cabinet. Everyone else, including investors, knew that things were going to get a whole lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can buy more than once at different points, and if you are buying right now it’s obviously not for a quick turn around. Hence why in my original post I said it’s not bad advice but not great advice. And well you should take out a short position.
