Thanks for posting this is a good one also. I don’t exactly agree with the editorial it’s because it is not a Level Playing Field the tactics when you have the oligarchs like Bill Gates Jeff Bezos George Soros and others who want to team up and absolutely obliterate the market with their shorting manipulation schemes fleeces the rest of us out of our shares for those who are foolish enough to sell on the way down. If you think about it right now there simply are not enough people left to sell shares but they are pounding them down day after day and you have to know this has an agenda. How can I say that? Because George Soros with his billion single-handedly crashed the British pound back in the 1990s. So he has in fact done this before. Imagine what it would be if some of these who want President Trump gone pooled their resources. I believe that is what we have right now. So I would actually let the market go back up a little bit today and then close it for 10 days. At that point President Trump can rally the troops trumpet all of the good things get the virus under control with quite frankly I think it already is, and then reopen the market. Somewhere in there I would like him to unmask the manipulators or call them out. He can do that very subtly or bluntly.

But you and I are not going to change that.

So knowing as much as we can about the pre-existing conditions, we need to go into the stock market aware of these conditions and our limitations for knowing more, and make investments accordingly.

And we need to pay attention to current events. When people like Senator Cotton are making noise about paying some sort of payment to Americans for the time being, it may be a good time to start researching TIPS, and more Gold and Silver. Silver is a great buy right now (to me it seems). And it does not need to be physical silver, although I think that's a part of any portfolio, it could be something like SLV.

Be careful out there.

"...obliterate the market with their shorting manipulation schemes..."

I would ban shorting entirely and forever. It is the tool of the manipulators. I can't borrow a house to sell it with the promise of buying back later, when the price is lower, to return it to you. The uptick rule as "protection" is a joke.

fleeces the rest of us out of our shares for those who are foolish enough to sell on the way down.

That's the problem, isn't it? The only losers in this market are those that are long and sell at the bottom. People need to learn to take paper loses. We're going to have crashes, manipulated or not, every 10 to 15 years. If anyone is in the market for the long haul, they will go through this at least once.
