I think even experienced professional's are baffled by these rally's...

I would hold to my postions with a tight stop loss.

Yeah everyone know the economic fallouts of this crisis will be massive and are not priced-in - but everyone also knows that being right too early isn't too different from being wrong.

Besides the uncertainty about the health crisis and its economic impacts, one big issue to call on what market prices should be is that central banks are getting more and more involved with controlling markets so prices can be disconnected from real value and influenced by political decision and monetary policies.

Right now anything is possible and I'm inclined to just see whats happening

You need to be very experienced to call this one and make anything out of it

I sold TEVA a while back at a small profit, before this rally, it still hasnt reached the peak it had then I think.

A long term pick of mine Pluristem (PSTI) is going well on the COVID buzz, as is TEVA. The testing shout through here AYTU not so much.

High-risk, high-reward. Some of them will likely be bought by larger pharma. I picked few which are already way UP. If they patented promising drugs I'd make sure these already passed the clinical trials as these may take years and cost millions.

Here's one that the SP was hard hit but if things in the World get back on track the SP should recover quickly ............ they install virtual reality pods & headsets etc in themeparks and zoos. Small company ........ Immotion Group PLC. .... https://immotion.co.uk/

Currently 2.29 GBX, was 4 times that recently and hit a low of 1.05 GBX ish.

Hit badly by Covid19 and might well not recover and go bust. Not one for huge wads of cash.

Has doubled over the last few days without an RNS, 4.50 now, might go higher but it's a tad loony a rise to me so I'll take my money and run.

SDS Proshares Ultrashort seems to have dropped again to around the 26-27 mark.
Should I be loading up on this? Currently holding mostly cash....

Does the price here matter so much since its tracking 2X the inverse? How would you measure value of it?
If you believe its a falling market. Definitely buy, if you are seeing recovery, definitely dont.

Yes because this time it is different, just like it has been in every other recession... except it never is.

The economies will contract and stimulus packages will cause inflation and if you are not modelling that kind of thing into your valuation models, you will loose, just like always.

If you spent your efforts trying to time the market and use math to predict human behaviour you will in the long term loose, just as always.

The first 2020 quarter corporate results will only be known in May. Some insiders already have some clues but wouldn't have a wider picture. I think the Q1 will be terrible but the Q2 results published in August will be even much worse.

I agree.......Q1 results will be fine, but in the Qtly’s CEOs will be talking to a downward trend for Q2 and supply chain issues that will limit revenue, depending on how much inventories were carried into Q2......... so Q2 will be down considerably but Q3 will be a disaster as the real impacts of Covid will only hit the numbers in the US, LATAM and Africa where it’s only starting now And it will take At least 4 months for them to come out The other side

Great point! Just need to figure out if that expectation has been built into current pricing..

I think if you're applying old world economics to the current scenario you're gonna lose in this world. In the past, results down, meant the company was on a downward trajectory, which meant people sold shares.

The dog on the street knows results will be poor in August, but if stores are open by then, do you think people will turn around then and say "oh, sales are down for Q2, I better sell my shares now".

Quarterly Results do not reflect company outlook if the pandemic is showing signs of righting itself.

Agree, as some of the countries only started locking down since mid-march, so Q1will not reflect the full effect...Q2 will be a blood bath with millions of job losses and what not.

Q1 may be the canary in the coalmine for the end of the bull cycle.

‘Risk to the downside is greater than the opportunity to the upside from this point where we stand today.’
Goldman Sachs’s chief equity strategist, David Kostin.

The S+P did not hit the 2000 fib level so that would be a concern for the technical people , there could still be enough covid pain out there to drive it lower again and it is possible that the pandemic has coincided with the recession that was due and the QE is masking the effects which will be revealed as the year unfolds.

‘Risk to the downside is greater than the opportunity to the upside from this point where we stand today.’
Goldman Sachs’s chief equity strategist, David Kostin.

“There’s a little bit of asymmetry in terms of the downside risk toward a level in the S&P 500 of around 2,000, which is down almost 25%, and upside of around 10% to a target at the end of the year of 3,000,”

Buying at the low price it is at today? Hard to say - I would say get well away from this

It will take a long time to recover that trust it built. The total amount of the fraud exceeds RMB 2.2 billion, or roughly $310 million, and shares are down more than 80%

There were virtually no warning signs in advance - The amount of damages is still not known... Who's to know the fraud is limited to the COO. CEO and COO have a very long relationship here.

Not to mention the brand has taken a huge hit. There is a chance the company could go bust, but on the other hand Luckin Coffee is loved by the Chinese public, i could see the government get involved which would be huge.

China's coffee market should interest everyone - the growth in coffee consumption in China is the highest in the world. I

Read a piece saying that app downloads had engine through the roof but plenty speculatiom that it was just people cashing in coupons and vouchers in case they go bust!
