Great time to get into the market...
Trying to catch a falling knife?

Agree. I'm just waiting a few more days as I think it'll still go south

If that's your conviction, why not liquidate and reenter at a lower price?

you have to be kidding me?! you would advise some one whose retiring in 20 years to pull out of the market now??


Definitely going to dip more, but i wouldn't advise anyone to stop investing in their 401K if they are 5 years removed from retirement.   

Have you lived through/experienced 2008/2009 or 1999/2000 drops?

S&P 500 Index 5 Day down 11.70%
Which means it needs to rise 13.25% just to break even.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

It seemed like you were the one advocating trying to time the market

Well, as I pointed out before, this isn't just "a dip".

I would recommend you educate yourself a little bit about P/E ratios and future returns. Hussman has been writing about this for longer than I can remember, but for a simpler shorter read you can try https://fsinvestments.com/learn/articles/PE-ratios I also highly recommend reading Richard Russel's timeless article https://www.mauldineconomics.com/images/uploads/pdf/mwo041406.pdf

Please explain how you know it's not just a dip?
I assume then you're shorting the market, as you'll be guaranteed to make money.

The robust fundamental outlook for 2020 has not changed, and I don’t believe it is likely to change. It appears that China has been able to control the spread of this wannabe pandemic.

Do you share this view?

I don't know anything. But unlike previous dips we had during this long bull run, which were based on fears or emotions of what might happen (such as the effects of tariffs, Brexit, etc.), this pull back is based on real actual significant disruptions with an unknown end, and serious risk of growing into a much bigger issue. On top of that we were dealing with a richly valued market which is mostly fueled by low interest rates.

That's a wrong assumption on your behalf. I wrote that I think moving to the sidelines due to uncertainty is prudent. Since I strive to be a Lubavitcher, I can only count on taxes as being guaranteed, death might be eradicated very soon.  ;)

Indeed, which is why getting out now might not be as hard or painful as it might be after an additional drop.

If it keeps going down interest rates will be cut slowly again.
There have been other such risks and markets went down and the issues got sorted and then we were back on track.

Are you perpetuating the old myth that it's easier to go from 100 to 50 (50%) than 50 to 100 (100%)? That's only for people who don't get the מלגב/מלבר concept.
If you don't care why would you comment?

You seem to be certain of that. I am not, though I do think it is likely to happen, not because it solves anything, but because when the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail. The current downturn (forget about the stock market, look at airlines, and the entire manufacturing supply chain) isn't that much of a demand shock, it's a supply shock. How do lower rates solve that?

Could you please name a recent similar shock?

Also, to what extent are we going to ignore fundamentals? Stock price appreciation can come from one of two reasons: either earnings growth or multiple expansion. Historically speaking, multiples are high. While earnings can grow for a while in excess of GDP growth, they should eventually revert to the mean. So with real warnings about earnings being lower due to the supply disruptions, and multiples at already elevated levels, where does price appreciation come from?

No no no the drop is because of the D debate.

זה וזה גורם.

After Trump's Corona news conference, some might think that there's a serious risk that a D could beat him, and when one sees what the Ds have to offer at the debate, it sure scares the markets.  :P

I think this just proves my point , if dealing with long term investments such as retirement/college funds there is absolutely no need to pull out of the market.
During the SARS outbreak in 2003 between Jan 14th and March 11th the S&P dropped 14.1% from 932 to 800 , by May of 03 it fully recovered to 934 , and today even with the dip its at close to 3000.
And the same analysis can be made about the 08 financial crisis.

This is closing in on 10x as many cases and double the deaths of SARS and MERS combined.

I looks like the SP going to break the 52 low less than two weeks after reaching record highs.

I know it's not a stock, but oil prices are compelling. If coronavirus is truly going to be a long-term pandemic then travel will absolutely be crushed and with it oil demand. But prices are at $45/bb right now and they can't go any lower without bankrupting suppliers. So I see an announcement about supply cuts coming extremely soon.

Then before you can blink we'll be talking about Memorial Day driving season coming up. Should be very volatile. If you have experience with oil, this could be a lifetime sized opportunity.

fatality for SARS was actually 5 times higher (9.6%) then COVID 19 is currently at the epicenter of this epidemic in Wuhan (2%) [by all available data].
regardless its semantics , human nature is the same , we have a fear of the unknown and then things turn around, its a natural ebb and flow of the market with this kind of thing, and in 10 years this wont matter to anyone who stayed in the market.
the only thing that can truly wreck the market long term, is a Sanders nomination and the markets tumble and then its essentially a self fulfilling prophecy and he gets elected.
