Dow hit limit up. This is getting so crazy.

I have a beginner's question.

I have never followed the market so I only know the very basics of how it works. In the past 2-3 weeks, as I've been following the market more closely, one thing I wonder is how did we get to this place.

My understanding is, that as general rule the market is always up in the long term. Once the crisis is over, in this case Corona, everything will more less get back to normal.

So why do people panic? Are most trades on the market not long term positions and they create the volatility?

There's no such gaurantee that markets will rebound. See the Japanese Nikkei 225 index.
Risk is opportunity

Why not?

The time to do it is when you're convinced there's no upside in the foreseeable term. This is affecting everyone, including traditional defensive and dividend plays.

Call me crazy but it will go into single digits (sub 10k). I am 99.999% sure we have not seen the worst.

I refuse to call you crazy on this account. I might call you crazy for other reasons, but I think your call is right. No reason to believe this doesn't end in a total decline of 60% or more.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.  ;)

When oil reaches around $10/bbl it might be the buy of a lifetime of the strong hands in the oil patch.

Nothing is rational at this point.

However the prospect of major money printing to finance the emergency measures might be a reason.

The Dow will still go a long way down, but the airlines, ugh, I can't look at blood.

Yet PM are also down. Might be a case of liquidating whatever is available.

+1. we're in for a depression, not a recession.

price of oil is insane, simply crazy.
Gold to platinum ratio, gold to silver ratio I believe is in uncharted territory. Gold to silver at 50/1 ratio is a buy.. 126/1 is what? robbery?
