I've been going through a similar scenario where I've had a large amount of $$$ sitting in my savings account since summer last year with the intention of it being a down payment on our next home. Super Bowl Sunday is when the housing inventory really heats up here, so we chose to let it sit ~6 months in savings. Our place is currently under contract and we just went under contract on our new home that is everything we want and more. That said, the difference in 25K below our budget was substantial in home/neighborhood quality compared to going 25K above our budget. So in hindsight, could I have made a litte more money spending 6 months in market, maybe, but the risk of losing and having to settle for a lower tier home would not have been worth it to me.

Catching a falling knife is hard. Tried it with BTC, which is dropping as well. Cooler heads, Rain Man.

The answer depends primarily on your time horizon (and your risk tolerance to a much lesser extent). If the down payment on the house is going to be made in the next year, preserve capital and keep the money in your savings account. If the down payment is 5 years forward, you have a lot more reason to put it in the market. If something in between, it's a grey area and perhaps diversify between both.

Risk tolerance matters too. For most people, if you have 100k you're saving as a down payment, a 10k loss is going to be far more difficult to stomach than the extent to which you're going to enjoy a 10k gain. But people are cut from different cloths.

Yeah, don't take risk with something you need in the relative short term.

Keep in mind , this virus will slow down when warmer weather prevails. Viruses love Cold.

I don't know the time frame for vaccines to develop but I'm pretty sure there's a rush on it.

This will be over soon and the stock market will rejoice.

I'm wondering if maybe Gilead's news could have put it back. Or that Israeli company's news. It'll be a race to market if it even works. If it goes back up tomorrow I'll do a little profit taking since I'm still up 10 percent in two days.

IBIO, for those that don’t know, owns the facility the COVID vaccine will be manufactured in, regardless of who gets it approved first.

It’s currently trading at $1.40 in AH, with volume and room to explode tomorrow in PM or open. Some looking for $4 - $10, similar to the $CODX run yesterday.

I got in at .22 and made the most money in a single day I’ve ever made trading. If you’ve got a little cash to spare, it’s not a bad idea to bet on this horse.

I might guess it’s people realizing that even if they ultimately have an effective vaccine, it won’t be ready to come to market for at least a year and there are plenty of other competitors who may very well beat them to market.

Jesus, the market is taking a huge beating.

But one has to wonder, is this a market correction?
