Mr Market was in a bad mood today. At the close of regular trading the S&P 500 is down by 1.34%. We’ve seen better days.

On the upside: This means that there are some stocks that might have an “on sale” sign on them. Just have another look!

@RachelReevesMP .@RachelReevesMP In 2020 oil companies lost billions. No special tax breaks were offered then. Special taxes now would be pure communism: downside to those who carry the risk, upside to those who didn't carry any risk at all. Not the way to incentivize new investments.

@TalkMarkets Or perhaps we should be concerned that stocks are not trading a lot lower... Given P/E ratios of 25 or even much, much higher, and given Covid-19 impact on earnings is not in those numbers yet, shouldn't stocks be at a much lower level?

Sell signal for Nucor Corporation (NUE). We reduced our position at avg share price of USD 44.56. Unit costs USD 39.63. Gain of 12.44% for 5 days. Not bad at all. More details at https://t.co/NQTQOeFQBt $NUE #NUE #Assetmanagement

@financialtrave Yes, cost is easily overlooked. For our decisions we usually look at results after fees and tax. Within reason we're willing to accept (higher) fees if warranted for better performance. Often high fee funds do not deserve the higher costs, though.

[Optarix @optarix]

@Chad_Shoop In our view it appears as if even with a new stimulus package many stocks and the market in general are too expensive. P/E ratio of 25 or even more needs a really good justification. Earnings hit for companies due to Covid-19 is still largely unclear.

Sell signal for Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS). We reduced our position at avg price of USD 57.41. Unit costs were USD 45.35. Gain of 26.59%. More details at https://t.co/bpfv8jVrZ7 $OTIS #OTIS #assetmanagement

@Schroders What happens if it turns into an L-shaped one, i.e. long-winded recovery with lots of volatility along the way? Can we rule this out from today's perspective? And what would that mean for everyone's investment approach?

@Schuldensuehner While understandable that the Fed is taking this step, it also runs the risk of keeping companies alive that could at best be described as "zombies". As a consequence, it seems that credit insurance is yet another distorted financial market. As investor, beware of those zombies.
