Not easy. But will be fun when capitulation kicks in and there blood on the streets. Cash is king and TRUE bargains will be available.
Locked and loaded!!!

Good thing no one has been following your thoughts.  ;)
Well, I'm happy the markets did. Same trend for Monday-Tuesday & Thursday-Friday, an overreacted plummet requires a correction.

Well, on 5%+ day moves it might make sense to take a loss- protected contrarian move at the close. Requires guts.

That's true in all aspects of life.

That being said, could you kindly explain how "being in it for the long run" works with the risk/reward potential of stocks at this point?

To make the point about the risk/reward profile at this point, I heard someone pointing out this morning that unlike Tariffs, Brexit, and other risks that the market faced in the past year or two, which had some kind of a defined resolution one way or the other, with COVID-19 there are simply too many unknown risks out there. IMHO the prudent thing to do is to stay on the sidelines. If one has some losses, holding onto them in hopes of recovering might end up in a painful lesson. Regardless of the current COVID-19 risk, the market was in place for a correction. If you read John Hussman's market commentary you will find that the reward profile for many assets over the next 10 years is extremely low.
This was good advice!

Crazy how my mindset was so different then than it is today
If you don't care why would you comment?

Of course. When Delta is down 21.5% in a day it's a no brainier, follow the trends.

Right, was better in the morning, no need to wait for the close. A lot of bloodbaths still ahead, not worth being stuck there.

Which is why I am willing to take the risk at the close of 4%+ up days, since I see a lot more downside risk than upside potential, but betting on a rebound after a massive selloff - that's another story. Going into a weekend... well - cash is king.

Interestingly, I cannot find a way to place a Market-on-Close order with Schwab. Super easy with Fidelity, very easy with TD Ameritrade ThinkOrSwim platform, somewhat easy with E*Trade and with TD Ameritrade website.

You said a bounce back after a down day. Wed's don't count? Only when down days are on Mon or Thu?

What is an overreacted plummet? 100, 500, 1000 or 2k points or more? The market reacted by going into bear territory. Was that an overreaction or overdue?

Turns out that with Schwab it can only be done on their StreetSmart platform.
