The only way to know for sure if this is a Dead Cat bounce is to wait and see what happens over the next two weeks. The problem with that is, if it isn't you will have already missed a great deal of the potential gains. This is why timing the bottom or top is virtually impossible, you can only know for sure in hindsight..

The DOW came off 15% at the peak of the drop, it put back on over 5% today, the S&P put on 4.6%. The TSX was off 12%, put back on 1.75% today. Some of the big blue chips that were down 8-9% gained back 3% today.

Right now you are buying at a 10-15% discount to a week ago. Yes there may be another 5-10% downside, but Coke for example gained 5% today alone. That made it a pretty good buy from this morning. The best you can do is Leg in the cash you are sitting on over time, and on top quality stocks.

How long do you think a skilled team could keep this going? Provided they had spare batteries and the SEC continues to look the other way? Like they did the last few times?

This really needs to be redone with the Wall Street and Bay Street crew.

I have a low % of my investments in stock, but I pulled my stocks a week ago. Too crazy for me!

For those who think this is over, Markets spiked 4.6% the following week in 2008, but the rally proved short-lived as the crisis deepened. The index was down three and six months later and wouldn't bottom until March 2009.

I think you're right. Can you imagine what will happen if the US starts testing (which they haven't been) and all of a sudden the number of starts going through the roof ?

Let alone the people in the US who won't/cant get tested due to the out of pocket cost. Ah, universal health care......

The virus itself isn’t the issue. Issue is the supply chain disruptions, and shutting down China’s economy. If we can keep things rolling without anymore substantial quarantines things should bounce back relatively quickly. And the guys selling will be kicking themselves, in saying that if they don’t bounce back we could see some prolonged losses. This is where your money is made and lost in the market, and what separates the men from the boys. Good luck to you all.

Markets can be volatile.

A dire phase of the coronavirus outbreak? 'Boom' of US cases 'should be expected' as global death toll tops 3,000
JOHN BACON | USA TODAY
Updated 11:54 a.m. MST Mar. 2, 2020

“ "There are some enormous implications here," Trevor Bedford, a researcher at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, posted on Twitter. "I believe we're facing an already substantial outbreak in Washington State that was not detected until now."...


“ "Under current circumstances, a boom of cases should be expected," Omenka said. "Especially given the possibility of asymptomatic spread and mildness of the disease."

The way to stop the spread: human behavior. It's crucial that people follow steps recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, such as frequently washing their hands and self-quarantining when sick, Omenka said.

I'm happy I pulled. Dropping interest rates wont do anything for long at this point. It will spike momentarily. Best wishes to everyone riding this out!

What’s 2% of the human population divided by say 365 days? (What the heck, divide it by 1,095 for a lower daily kill rate in case it takes 3 years.)

This is just one more thing we may now, forever have to try to live with. Wouldn’t it be nice to eliminate any one of those killers in the list above? The idea of preventing one more seems to have been beyond the mental capacity of the guy that put that compilation together.

FED just made emergency 50 bps rate cut.

We are going to see if cheap money is the vaccine for the virus. I expect a bounce that won't last. If you want to lighten up I think this may be the last chance but who knows. Not advice, just opinion.

Well, DOW was down 300 and TSX was treading water....then Fed announced a 50 bps rate cut....And the DOW bounced about 700 points in a hurry, now looking at +350 and +175 on TSX. It's all over the place, changing rapidly. Wonder if it will finish in green.

Kinda surprised Fed moved that much, that suddenly.

DOW doesn't look like it's going to stay in the green long, dropping pretty steady. TSX looks a little more stable. Dow only showing +85 now....volatile, anyone?

Looks like Fed shot their last bullet, and it wasn't silver.

The Dow is back in the red, but the TSX is still showing a gain. That move by the feds caused a bounce, but it was short lived.

The markets are holding there own with oil and nat gas having positive moves.
Volatile though, but it seems like the panic has subsided for now.

We cut out oil down to next to nothing on Feb 21 and 28. Still holding a little chunk of Pembina and Suncor.

Loving gold here and gold stocks, thank you FED. We are heading to $1700+ oz I think.

Q1 numbers should be fun. Rate manipulation isn't going to fix this supply issue. Markets will move sideways until more evidence of the virus impact hits home. Supply chains are only starting to feel the effects of China's continued export situation and global tourism related industries are going to be hammered. Already lots of large gatherings cancelled globally. Long way to go on this one. Stay tuned.

Let's hope so. Im up a nice percentage on my gold stock since buying it back in 2017. I'm keeping an eye on Imperial Oil. If they drop I'll be buying in. They have lots of cash on hand, pay a good dividend, and are diversified enough to have a bit of a moat around them.
