With the S&P breaking the 50 Day Moving Average, then the 100, and today the 200 day MA, is this really a time to buy?

Yup. Time in the market will always be better than trying to time the market.

okay, I laughed.

I think anyone that can't afford a few 1k drops doesn't really belong in the stock market. I went from heavily weighted towards cash to a lot of securities. But the nature of those investments are such that as long as the economy is doing okay, I will do okay. Never been one to put money in a company I didn't understand.

We're going back below 1500 on the S&P500 (not today, or tomorrow though). This is the economic equivalent of a guy going on a solo break away at Roubaix, using all his reserves, pushing past his limits to gain a temporary advantage. He will hit a wall with 50K still left to race.

It's unpleasant, but if you own good companies just be patient.

last time the S&P was at that level was in early 2013... 2500 or even 2000, i could see; but 1500 (unless temporary)? then again, the S&P does generally take a 30-40% hit on bad bear markets, so...

---------------------------------------------

otoh, treasury yields haven't budged yet (i'd expect at least the long term to go down, as people flock to "safety", thus driving up prices and lowering yield). any more astute followers of the market have an explanation for that?
