Volatility Is Here To Stay

Yesterday, investors pulled the ripcord selling everything, including the most obvious stock winners for the next one, three, five and even ten years.  It didn’t matter, as selling rose to a crescendo.  There have been a few safe havens since the selloff began, but there was no place to hide yesterday.

Market Breadth was simply mind-boggling, to the point it's clear it was excessive.

I’m working on a comprehensive report over the weekend on why this part of the selloff is part of a classic capitulation.

Today Session

It’s all about Washington, D.C., which is reportedly close to some kind of fiscal assistance, and it better be big. On that note, there has been more central bank intervention around the world. There is a good chance that today the market could see the largest point gain in history, but be careful. The volatility is with us until we get a better handle on virus numbers.

Just know the market will turn much higher long before we get the actual treatment or vaccine.
