A few simple rescues and a slight recovery of stocks ....Investors become complacent and think worst is over...some even kick themselves for not buying when prices are lower

That I because they don't understand the full extent of the crisis.

No news on bank’s bankrupt meaning safe

10 days ago everything also safe. We never heard of signature bank or SVB.

Once you see a white ant it means the house wooden structure is already rotten.

Of course optimistic investors are in constant denial and brain is receptive to only good news. ...that's why every crisis kills many investors.

Remember risk reward. Stocks are not that cheap yet. Interest rate is sky high and impending crisis.....

Use common sense
1. No big rally is coming soon...limited upside.
2. Downside on the other hand can be large...either recession or debt crisis or.both

Why take risk for so.little reward?

So have you converted all your stock holdings into cash?

Calmly and logical look at this to see the problem..

1. Global Debt grew to 300T as of today
2. Interest rate pushed up from 0% to 4.75.
3. The extra cost of debt servicing rises by 15T.
4. Where is thus money coming from given economy remains weak.

This debt servicing debt will cause a wave of defaults and stress in financial.system.

Why nothing much as happened yet?
That is because most indebted companies have not yet rolled over their debts. Similarly families are still on low rate mortgages until they expire soon.

Do not ever take signals from the stock market during crisis. Stock markets are often optimistic and like to declare problems over prematurely. This draws in investors who have the bad habit of "bargain hunting"...only to lose big when crisis become full blown.

Fed aggressive rate hikes always results in recession or crisis.

Fed aggressive rate cuts always results in bubbles ...

Already huffing and puffing 20years ago about debt but so what , no big deal today chugging along. So it establishes crisis is no crisis and debt is no debt.
