Futures down 1% at the open. Coronavirus has investors spooked

Doesn’t make any sense. Zero impact. Can’t be causation.

1% is a small change... I think it could be connected.

Do you realize how much market capitalization was lost in 1%?

I mean zero as in imperceptible economic impact.

I’d say it’s an over reaction, but not zero impact. I’m at 30% cash, so I’ll

I’m in cash too but not because of a virus lol

Big Daddy D

1/26/20 4:39pm

I’m not in cash because the virus, I’ve been slowly moving to cash

Right there with you

In addition to the above, a lot of people are just waiting for an excuse.

1/26/20 4:31pm

Feels overheated? What ever gave you that notion?

Big Daddy D

1/26/20 4:41pm

Yeah, but a lot of people have lost a lot of money waiting for the correction

1/26/20 4:58pm

No they haven’t. Experienced opportunity cost perhaps but did not lose money

Big Daddy D

1/26/20 6:23pm

Same difference. Spare me the pedantry please.

1/26/20 6:25pm

Lol not the same difference if you’re managing someone’s hard earned money.

Big Daddy D

1/26/20 6:34pm

To the people whose money is being managed it is the same.

1/26/20 6:43pm

False. Return OF principle vs return ON principle. People with real money care.

I know exactly what the “industry” calls guys like me: “former clients.”

Uh. Those aren't futures. The actual market went down on Friday.
