RE:Bear marketYes, short sellers, and options players are making money, but to suggest that what is happening is a "rigged" situation is simply pure BS. The Coronavirus is the catalyst no question, but the simple fact is we had a bull market for 11 years that was completely over bought and over valued. As painful as this is for the majority which includes the likes of Ray Dalio, it is the bop in the nose that the markets get when its leaning too far. We have a huge number of so called traders who have never traded a bear market that are being bloodied, thats 11 years of people walking around claiming to be seasoned traders who are now learning hard lessons. Now we are looking at a NOT V recovery, we may get a w, but the risk is still down, there is no hurry to rush in. Chinese retail sales and PMI's are down 15%!! The US numbers are going to suck for months to come, and the US consumer is going to put their credit cards away which is the only thing that has supported the over valuation. We have experienced a bit of pain, there is more to come.
