    Markets cheer as the Federal Reserve cures coronavirus with cheap money

    Wall Street – Markets cheered this morning after the Federal Reserve cured the coronavirus by cutting interest rates by 50 basis points. "It is exciting how much medical power the Federal Reserve has just by cutting interest rates," a doctor at Cambridge Medical Center of Incurable Diseases stated. "With just a click of a button the Federal Reserve did the impossible and found the cure to the coronavirus. Who knew the cure to the coronavirus was cheap money?" Communities around the globe applauded as helicopter money was literally dumped from the skies. Many people later took to the social media app Tik Tok and shot up United States Dollars into their veins. "I instantly felt better after shooting up cheap money into my veins," a social media influencer with the coronavirus said. President Trump later made the statement that the Federal Reserve needs to cut rates further so we can solve other incurable diseases like cancer and aids. Despite the rate cut, travel stonks continued to fall deeper into the red. Apparently, no matter how cheap money is, consumers still don't want to be caught dead on a cruise ship.

    Robinhood saw a second day of glitches that kept clients from trading as markets rebounded.

    "We are experiencing a system-wide outage," a message reads on Robinhood's website.

    The start-up's technical issues began Monday morning and lasted throughout the trading day, leaving users with their hands tied as the Dow Jones Industrial Average's biggest one-day point gain in history.

    I have 10k in savings, and I've recently discovered that I'm going to die within the next three years. Where do I dump my money?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 10:01 AM PST

    As the title says, I've got 10k looking pretty in the bank but I'm not going to live through this decade because of a health problem that's been dogging me since I was born; I don't care if I lose it all, what can I do to have the highest chance of making the most over the course of a year or two? There are a lot of things I want to do before I die and 10k isn't enough for half of them.

    Why stocks are tumbling despite the Fed’s surprise interest rate cut

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:28 PM PST

    Monetary policy has limited ability to counter the supply shock investors fear as coronavirus continues to spread

    Stock-market investors weren't taking much comfort Tuesday from the Federal Reserve's decision to cut its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point in a rare, inter-meeting move aimed at cushioning the economy from disruptions from the global spread of COVID-19.

    "I think the Fed rates cuts backfired in many ways. Instead of soothing the market, it's reignited investors' worst fears," Michael Arone, chief investment strategist for State Street Global Advisors, told MarketWatch in a phone interview.

    Stocks initially jumped after the announcement, but gains proved short-lived. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.94% fell nearly 1,000 points at its session low and remains down more than 650 points, or 2.5%, while the S&P 500 SPX, -2.81% and Nasdaq Composite COMP, -2.99% remain down more than 2%. Stocks had bounced back sharply on Monday, taking back a chunk of the previous week's steep losses that were tied to growing fears the spread of the coronavirus would deliver a global economic shock.

    Meanwhile, investors piled into haven assets, including Treasurys, driving the yield on the benchmark 10-year note TMUBMUSD10Y, -12.56% below 1% for the first time ever. Yields fall as debt prices rise.

    What gives? Here's what analysts and investors are saying about the Fed decision and the market reaction so far:

    Things may be worse than they look

    While an interest rate cut was good for a knee-jerk positive reaction in equity indexes, gains soon faded as the initial euphoria gave way to questions about just how worried policy makers must be to prompt such a rare move. It signals to investors "that policy makers are grasping significant uncertainty and rapidly mounting downside risks," said Lara Rhame, chief U.S. economist at FS Investments, in an interview.

    Wrong medicine for a supply shock

    There is also the longstanding question of how effective monetary stimulus, and even some forms of fiscal stimulus, can be in the face of what is likely to be a "supply shock" — the type of economic hit caused by the absence of goods and services as the virus forces factory shutdowns and curtails transportation and travel. Monetary and fiscal stimulus is typically aimed at mitigating demand shocks, which are sharp cutbacks in spending by households, businesses or governments.

    Robinhood users lash out on Twitter as outage keeps them on sidelines of market rally

    Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:42 PM PST

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/03/robinhood-users-lash-out-on-twitter-as-outage-keeps-them-on-sidelines.html

    Hundreds of angry Robinhood users took to Twitter and Reddit to blast the start-up after a technical outage kept users from trading Monday.

    Some threatened to leave the platform, while others called for a class-action lawsuit.

    The start-up is likely protected from a legal stand-point. But analysts wonder about the damage to the start-up's reputation, and unwanted attention from regulators.

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 10:38 AM PST

    Salarius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ($SLRX) is a clinical-stage oncology company targeting cancers caused by dysregulated gene expression (and an unsuccessful one at that, as you can see from their stock price).

    Key Points:

    - SLRX is down almost 90% this year

    - A bunch of executives and directors just purchased common stock and/or a warrant with a right to buy at a price of $1.15 (current price is $0.98).

    - They recently raised a public offering at a price of $1.15 (this is why most, but not all, of the directors and executives above purchased

    - 2 executives didn't buy during the public offering but bought afterward when the stock was under $0.90

    Upcoming Week

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 05:20 PM PST

    What is everyone's opinion on how the markets are going to behave for the rest of the week? I got into the SPY last Friday thinking things were levelling out but bailed locking in 3% before things really tanked today - I feel the downwards momentum even with the rate cut is an indication that the drawback will continue. Thoughts?

    Were the rate cuts useful/necessary?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:53 AM PST

    The Federal Reserve cut rates in response to coronavirus fears. But the Federal Reserve surely can't control this as it isn't an economic issue. Rate cuts would just be a temporary relief and in the long term a waste. Only thing that can help the markets is an announcement for a vaccine or containment of the spread.

    Pulling the Plug

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 11:24 AM PST

    I'm not a super experienced investor, mostly just add money every paycheck into a betterment roth and a wealthfront brokerage account. I'm sure the market will eventually recover and historically there are gains 6-12 months after a viral outbreak so in all likelihood Im just gonna keep adding money to my accounts every paycheck.

    Now, hypothetically when do you guys pull the plug and pull all of your money out of your accounts to avoid total loss? What signs are you all looking for? What's your tipping point for jumping ship?

    Edit This post is more interested in the average active investor, what are some of the metrics you're using to gauge market health etc
