I do believe this hit is worse than 2008 or whenever the big banking crisis happened.

I joked about it, wish I’d of followed through now.

I’m not fond of China at the moment!

There may still be time to short it. I believe there are still many days ahead of news worse than what got the mkt to this point.

I don’t think anyone should sell America short right now.

I maxxed out my Roth IRA for 2019, the mutual fund, at the Monday night close price. Monday night it stunk pretty bad, so looking forward to the tax free windfall at 59 1/2.

Declaring it for 2019 means I can now start putting it in for 2020. Planning on doing as much of that as possible, thought about selling a gun or two to make it happen in a hurry, then I came to my senses.

Sold my stuff 2/25. Lost 2K Monday sold early Tuesday. Figured where I’d be today bwoulda lost big time, more than half! People dragging feet lost boucuo. Kroger up bout $6 from last week. Only thing I see in the green... I’d say not bottomed yet. Not a trader, small time, so I wouldn’t make short sells unless I had a guy on the stock exchange floor. I trade on my insurancey co brokerage service. Loosing dividend income till get back in but don’t have to recoup over half of the original total. When you’re 70 ain’t got time for dragged out recovery. Sad thing 401Ks don’t lend themselves to quick action.

The last two days have been good for the market. It will be interesting to see how it responds tomorrow to jobless claims. I’m thinking it will go down some more, at least for a few more week?
