One of the greatest investors of all times said he never tried to guess a market top nor a bottom, he was content on being in 20% from the bottom and out 20% from the top. I believe we have not seen the bottom here but I began buying on late Friday. I don’t think today’s opening bounce is a trend. Panic in financial markets from non financial matters (war, politics, plague etc) is quite difficult to gauge so I try to pick low beta stocks hopefully on sale. All IMHO.

I'm with you. Since I look for low betas, low EPS ratios, higher dividends (if sustainable), my losses last week were less than half the market as a whole.

Some healthcare stocks (OMI) and totally speculative legal marijuana stocks (SNTX) which I buy in tiny quantities like Lotto tickets are even up sharply.

It doesn't even hurt to have a little bit of money in a China bear ETF like YANG as it is an indicator of where the market is heading.
