PSA: Stock Market Down...Excellent Time To Add to Your Portfolio - Carnos Jax - 02-27-2020
Don’t worry about if it’ll drop further, as someone around here says, that’s like trying to catch a falling knife. Point is we’re approaching historical lows. Whether today, tomorrow or next few weeks...it’s not going to matter too much in the long run.

Your history is very short-term, then.
Re: PSA: Stock Market Down...Excellent Time To Add to Your Portfolio - Carnos Jax - 02-28-2020
Yeah, I meant to say in the last several years. Probably a stretch for me to assume most readers would definitely the same. Point is with a generally growing stock market, you’re not going to get too many opportunities like this (they will come though).

Nope, the shit has yet to really hit the fan.

Falling knife, you don’t when it will hit bottom.

A “falling knife” is generally used as a caution not to jump into a stock or other asset during a drop.

Schiller P/E ratio for the S+P 500:
Even after the last 4 days, the Schiller index remains around twice as high as the long term average. In fact, there have only been two times before 2019 when the Schiller P/E ratio was higher than it ended Thursday afternoon - once around the end of the 90’s, before the dot-com crash, and...well...in 1929. Prior to the 2008 crash? Nope, not this high. Prior to Black Monday in ‘87, when the market lost over 22% of it’s value in a day? Not even close.
Anything can happen - perhaps we’ll go back to massively overpriced stocks. But I fear this is about more than a virus, and I’m not sure it’s done.

No it's not. It's down to where it was in October.
Re: PSA: Stock Market Down...Excellent Time To Add to Your Portfolio - Carnos Jax - 02-28-2020
But that (October) was a relative low as well. I personally expect it to drop further (maybe even the expected correction or recession). But I can’t guarantee it. If you are waiting for it to hit rock bottom, Wall Street would love to talk to you. There are several stocks approaching a good value (Apple for one).

Glanced at the aftermarkets, today (Friday) looks like a repeat of yesterday.opefully the weekend will sober things up a bit.
