New stock market animal discovered
We know about bulls and bears.
Saying goes "Bulls and bears make money, pigs get slaughtered". A caution against greed.
The new species is ostrich. Ostriches have their heads in the sand, thinking this is a normal correction or bear market. That all the usual indicators, oscillators, analytical tools, screeners, paradigms and responses apply. The media are full of advice on how to "buy the dip", what stocks are good hedges in corrections, etc.
These are not normal times.
This is not a normal presidency, even compared to tRump 1.0.
These are not normal economic conditions.
