Humans act on emotion, which is ‘literally’ not logical

Hedge funds, mutual funds and pension funds are not particularly emotional and they move most volume

Hot take: The largest factor behind a valuation of a company is based on the long-term (10+ years), not purely this year. COVID was unlikely to have a significant hit beyond 2 years, and this crash was largely an overreaction. Markets will be back to normal within a year.

That’s true. People get their panties in a bunch but most analyst have pretty much completely discounted 2020 and are looking forward to 2021.

You expect that the market is driven by fundamentals. At the core it is, but also by expectations. It looks like we will not all be out of work for 18 months, so things look better than they did. Market goes up.

Hi, I know this isn't the place to seek tax advice. I haven't sold a car so this doesn't apply to me just yet, but was curious on the overall topic and people's experiences if they've dealt with this.
If I bought a car and sold it for less than the initial purchase price, would I pay taxes on the difference between the sale price and cost basis? If so how would I determine my basis in such a rapidly depreciating asset? Trying to decide if selling is worth the potential hassle. TIA

Early in my career I made the decision to go to work instead of pursuing a master’s, so that I could start saving, pay off my student loans, and not accumulate additional debt. Fast forward to today, my savings have shriveled, the jobs I want now strongly prefer a master’s, and the student loan debt I paid off could now be forgiven. Quite the plot twist.
