With U.S. stocks suffering a sharp, Black Friday selloff following the discovery of a fast-spreading variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, chart watchers are attempting to gauge just how deep any pullback could get.

“While we have been looking for a pullback, it’s difficult to forecast how quickly it will play out,” said veteran technical analyst Mark Arbeter of Arbeter Investments, noting that, often, “panic downside moves accelerate or shorten the length of the pullback” while also potentially erasing “obscene” positive sentiment levels that have accompanied the rally.

=================================================================================

Obscene is a mild word describing how oversold the markets are.  At my last glance...   

DOW down 900.
Crude down almost 12%
10 Year US Bond yields down 8%
Precious Metals flat.

Some idiotic fin. pundits are calling it a buying app.  Sheesh.

The virus does not cause the market to plunge.

It is plunging as we enter inflation territory and spending causes increasingly unsustainable deficits as Biden and Congress pick the pockets of working Americans and hand money to worthless imbeciles who vote for them, or illegals, or the well-connected.

Well yes and no.  Yes, in that it is probably spooking the whacked speculators right now, but for the honest to the bone smart investor, we know that it is only a diversion and a distraction.

But, expect anything less from the MSM financial punditry?    From a market perspective I have been saying for serveral years that the fundementals alone do not support a DJIA of 20K much less 35K.  Once the bubble of speculative exuberance pops, its going to be a fast downward slide.....   or a hyperinflationary event not seen in serveral decades in the 1st World.   That is why I think right now Gold prices are the most important and telling financial benchmark we have right now. Keep an eye on it.

Understood and agree.

My take is the tech stocks will take it on the chin the most as their PE ratios are out of sight and offering little or no dividends gives a depressed investor little reason to remain with them.

Bonds are terrible, and any who dive into them has a mental problem.

This isn't a Covid plunge.  This is a plunge orchestrated by our enemies using Covid as an excuse.  There is no Covid surge in South Africa.  There is not a single piece of evidence available indicating that this new strain is "horrific".
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

But the MSM has helped to push the panic buttons.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Petroleum is down to just a little over $68 as of this posting.

That's a GOOD thing.

Keep the fear a-comin', if you please, just a little while longer.
