Is this it?  The Big V Shaped Recovery?  Asian markets are all up

I don't think so, no. Possible dead cat bounce. I'm fairly confident we begin to see strong movements downward again in the next two weeks.

I believe that the markets will continue to fall. But there are some great opportunities for people not afraid of risk. My fingers hovered over the buy button when Royal Dutch Shell fell below £10 here; decided not to risk it and now it is at £13.71.........heigh ho.....

Classic bear market bounce. We're re-testing the lows for sure.

My portfolio was ca. 15% bonds before the crash. Simply rebalancing back to 15% would give me some additional cash to buy equities with.

But is now or even early next week the time to send the Imperil Guard in, and go down to 5-10% bonds? Or 0%? 

Or should I stay at 15% bonds? 

Decisions, decisions.

Just heard the interesting observation on CNBC that Warren hasn't made any big moves yet.

She's probably still busy binge watching replays of her debates with Bloomberg.
