ES1!NQ1! what a time to be alive. Held off on longing yesterday because 4% drop comes before 10% drop. We're at 10% drop from April 2nd now. Not sure if I'll get longs tho. It's possible that long term swings are at a nice discount. But we've seen 30-40% drops on heavy hitters like AAPL before. SPYQQQ

AAPLNVDA Remember when COVID hit, businesses shut down, and the market tanked? This drop feels the same, except now, all businesses are open. The difference is, back then, the cause was a global shutdown—now, it’s economic policy. The real question is how long it’ll take for companies to adjust and whether recovery will follow the same pattern.
AAPL After surgery, this patient seems to be out of the danger zone, but with all four limbs and internal organs replaced, predicting a move to $11 doesn’t seem out of the question.
