The operative phrase here is "Never try to catch a falling knife". https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fallingknife.asp

You're right, it's likely we'll get a reversal before too long, but how deep this goes and how long it lasts is up in the air.

After the "falling knife" analogy, that phrase took on a whole new meaning...

I've just found that those knives can hit the floor hard and wedge themselves deep into a crack.

If you come along at the right time, and pull with all your might, you can pull that knife right out of the ground like a sword from a stone and become a king...

I'm doing that right now!

That's one of the most ridiculous takes I've read in quite a while. There's no way the probability of the market starting rapid recovery in the next few weeks is 50%. Just wait until it's officially declared as a pandemic, which is almost certainly going to happen.

That’s how ppl lose money

It isn't called a correction when it goes up.

This pandemic is almost certainly going to cause a global recession this year. The market will not return to all time highs quickly, but once a vaccine comes out you can expect a "relief rally."
