Is the Stock Market About to Crash... Again? Best Education Page #Online Earning

Is the Stock Market About to Crash... Again?





 So in this video today
we are going to talking about
whether or not another stock market crash
is likely to happen.
So the last week in the stock market
has been absolutely insane.
And just for a quick recap here guys,
on March 12th the stock market
officially entered a bear market.
And this happens when a major stock index
like the DOW, the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ
has a 20% drop from a closing high.
And the market didn't just drop 20%,
we saw a massive sell off with the overall stock market,
which brought the DOW down to a low close
of $18,591.93
on Monday of last week.
So we entered a bear market,
and then the market absolutely tanked.
And from the peak to where we were on Monday,
the market was officially down 37%.
But after that, wait a second, everything changed
because the market left bear market territory
after a massive three-day gain of 21.3%.
And if you're keeping track here guys
that is the best three-day rally
of the DOW since 1931.
And on that note of the DOW exiting bear market territory,
we officially had the shortest bear market in history
of just 11 trading days.
So is that it?
Is it really just an 11-day stock market crash that we saw?
Well, I think not.
On Friday after this historical three-day gain,
the market dropped another 4%,
which puts us back to 27% below the February high close.
And I personally expect more pain to follow.
So basically I'm gonna tell you guys
why I think the stock market could probably crash again,
or at the very least we are
not going to reenter a bull market immediately.
And just so you guys know this is merely my opinion,
and this is not any kind
of financial advice.
Now the first reason why I believe this is a false signal
is due to the market volatility.
And that is essentially the up
and down movement of the stock market
because the stock market has officially become
more volatile than it ever has been in history.
And this is largely due to two different factors.
Number one, we are seeing record high participation
in the stock market thanks to the array
of free trading apps out there,
and free investing apps.
10 or 20 years ago it was a lot more difficult
to invest in the stock market,
you had to pay for an online discount brokerage.
Or you had to call your stock broker up on the phone,
and you had to invest thousands
of dollars in many cases
to open up a trading account.
Well now there are countless free investing apps out there
that allow you to trade commission free,
with no minimum account balance.
So as a result the barriers are a lot lower,
and more and more people
are investing in the stock market.
And when you have more people trading stocks,
moving in and out of the market,
it's inevitable that the market
is going to become more volatile
and we're going to see greater price swings.
And the other factor that comes into play here
is something called algorithmic
or computer trading,
which has had a hug effect
on the volatility that we see in the stock market.
And one of the interesting things to take a look at
is when we are seeing the most drastic
price actions taking place,
and if you look at the market over the last couple
of weeks, most of the drastic price actions
are taking place after 3:30 p.m.,
which is 30 minutes before the stock market closes.
And that is evidence of this algorithmic
or computer-based trading,
placing trades late in the day.
So now it's not uncommon to see the market
moving 2% or more up
or down after 3:30 p.m.,
when the market is coming to a close.
And that is largely due to this algorithmic trading,
placing massive buy and sell orders
based on where the market is closing.
And so as a result it is no longer uncommon
to see these 5% plus or minus fluctuations
in major stock indexes,
which is something we've never seen before
in normal market conditions.
And to be honest with you guys
these price swings remind me
of what we saw with Bitcoin back in 2017.
And this volatility is certainly not just my opinion guys,
you can literally see it
if you look at historical data in the market.
For example, if you take a look at this chart here
on the largest point gains
and point losses
of the DOW in history,
you will see that of the biggest point gains in history
in a single day,
seven of those happened this month.
So we've had seven record breaking days in one month
as far as the largest point gain
of the DOW in history.
And if we look at the largest point losses in history,
of the 10 biggest point losses
of the DOW, eight of them happened this year.
So we are seeing all
of these crazy price swings
as a result of algorithmic trading
and record high participation in the stock market.
So it is my opinion that this volatility
has provided us with a false signal
because the stock market officially exited
bear market territory last week.
But when these 5% price swings
or more are becoming a common place,
we may not be able to rely on this as a signal
that the bad times are over.
Now the second reason why I expect
the stock market to continue to go down,
or at least be extremely volatile going forward,
is because the number of cases
of the virus have not peaked.
And if you look at pandemics over history,
in most cases a stock market rally
happens after the pandemic peaks.
And we have certainly not reached that point thus far.
Last week on Friday the U.S. became the country
with the most cases of this virus
out of any country in the world.
And if you look at the CDC website,
you will see that cases
in the U.S. are still growing exponentially,
meaning we have definitely not
reached the peak yet for this virus.
And so far at least 30 different states
have closed all non-essential businesses,
and I expect that number to increase over time.
Because if we do some basic reasoning here guys,
if cases are still growing exponentially here
in the United States,
and we're the number one country for this virus,
do you expect more
or less businesses to close in the future?
And this mass closure
of businesses leads us to point number three
which is unemployment.
The more businesses that are mandated to close,
the more unemployment is going to rise.
And speaking of breaking records,
we also broke a massive unemployment record last week.
You see up until last week
the largest jump in unemployment cases in history
in a single week was 695,000
back in 1982.
Well we beat that record by a multiple
of roughly four because last week
a record 3.3 million people
filed for unemployment.
And the scary part is guys
many analyst and economists believe
this is just the tip of the iceberg
as businesses have just began laying off employees,
and we haven't see the full effect
of this on the economy.
And some economists believe that 40,000,000 people
will lose their jobs by April,
which is astounding.
And that is a far cry from just 3.3 million
unemployment cases in a given week.
Now nobody knows for certain just how many people
are going to be losing their jobs,
but if a number like 40 million
is being thrown around then we are clearly
at just the tip of the iceberg,
and we've already broken a previous record
by more than four times
as far as unemployment goes.
And all this data together
is going to paint a picture
for the overall economic fallout
associated with these business closures
and everything going on.
And we won't be able to see that
until earning season begins.
And if you're not familiar with that guys,
that is when large publicly traded companies
begin reporting earnings
as they are required to do
on a quarterly basis.
And earning season begins the month
following the previous quarter.
So earning season for quarter one
is going to begin in April.
But there's another big problem here,
and that is the fact that this quarter
is not going to accurately reflect the economic fallout
associated with this virus
because for the most part January
and February were not big months
in terms of business closures
and the overall fallout outside
of what was going on in China.
So the real pain here is going to be seen
in quarter two,
which is April to June.
And those earnings reports
don't start coming out until July.
So I expect to see some bad numbers coming out
next month in April,
but even worse numbers to follow in July.
Now many companies have already
retracted their guidance numbers,
or their estimates for future earnings
and numbers like that based on this event that happened.
But there's a massive unknown here
as far as how much some of these companies
have lost in revenue
and profits associated with this virus.
We have no idea how many people
are truly going to lose their jobs
and file for unemployment.
We don't know how many are going to be hired back.
We have no idea when the virus is going to peak.
It certainly hasn't already.
And we have no idea how this is going to
truly effect companies until we see quarter two earnings
in July of 2020.
So based on that I believe we saw a false signal
of this bear market ending.
And I think there is more pain
and more volatility to follow.
But anyways guys, like I said in the beginning,
this is just one random person here
who dabbles in the stock market
sharing his opinion about what is going on.
And I would love to hear what you think about this

disagree or somewhere in between.
