Now for everyone 'the corona virus' is the obvious reason why the markets are falling.
Smart/experienced investors already knew something could trigger a crash/recession soon, however they lack the knowledge what of course would trigger it.
Not a rant wether the corona virus was artificially created or not, just stating everyone was already anticipating that there is a high % of the market falling soon.
Examples from big to small hints: - Bridgewater Makes $1.5 Billion Options Bet on Falling Market in March (Ray Dalio) - Chief executives left in record numbers in the past year >1300 (Do not forget last year S&P500 and Dow Jones rose a nice ca. 40% each from its lows). Receiving a nice leave checkout - Companies Buybacks were often and not sustainable, and made an obvious 'fake' price increase/stability - Stocks were clearly falling and it created the fastest dump ever seen in modern history - Jeff Bezos, richest 'known' guy dumps 44B Amazon Stock in February - Last years Mobile Investment Apps got very popular, so investing in stocks was easy for everyone (Making a dump to 2017 lows a quick buck for already seasoned investors) - Jan. 1, 2020, the limit to buy gold anonymously drops from €10,000 down to €2,000. Only two years ago the limit was €15,000 in Germany - Tesla 'luckily' pumped its prices just before the crash to stay sustainable - ..

Current strategy and analysis/premises: - Cycles repeat themselves in the market - Global crash this time, not only affecting adults, but directly everyone this time, meaning more fear (In comparison to housing/.com bubbles) - Uncertainty to a quick recovery due to longterm fear of the corona virus, the S&P500 is suffering hard, due to business uncertainties - Governments not allowing quick recovery due to more rules - First quarter year earnings will really show how much companies are suffering - Previous crashes took several months to find their real lows - Buying too early has shown not to be not profitable - End of the year is tax period for everyone, so most interesting period as shown many times in the market - Current dump was fast, but not near in the corrections we have seen before, so there is more downside possible - Investors do look for targets, so 40%-50% correction is a good spot in the charts to not fall to <2010 levels - Inflation of money supply will slowly make it again look like the economy is recovering - Looking for divergence as well, but not focussing on it - ...
