Some irrelevant responses (e.g. “none”), or anything obviously fake, or copy and pasted responses have been omitted. All-caps responses have been changed to all lowercase. All responses for each week, unedited, are available in the raw data spreadsheets at TimingResearch.com/data.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.

“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• fears ease
• Friday last hour int0 cl0se
• Fridays close
• ready for a small bounce then down further.
• Market appears to have retested the bottom this Friday (March 06, 2020) and recovered into closing. I believe the recent market correction was initiated due to the Corona-virus (Covid-19) becoming a global pandemic.
• The s&p can only go so low before a bounce back. Only an opinion…

“Lower” Respondent Answers:

• China flue & loss of containment in Europe
• greetings from Coronavirus – impacting industry supply-chains, travel, airlines und many more …
• The fool US president, corona virus, and drain on consumer buying power resulting form excess concentration of wealth in too few hands.
• an increase in infections and deaths going to take the mkts lower
• In daily vision it’s poised for an upside, but if you look at a weekly chart it’s not poised for a weekly bounce. My 70% chance it’s because statistically it could bounce after having a retest of the lows, however the Corona Virus pandemic it’s still a risk and it’s not going away soon.
• While I was a little surprised with some of the upswings after the hudge down days, I am not yet convinced that the selling pacic of the corona virus is over. For this reason I voted down for the week but with a low conviction as we watch this new threat progress. Not to make light of this situation but I plan to stay calm and use this time as a buying oppertunity.
• Downward trend
• Last weel performance
• broke major trend line
• production slow down china, corona virus global,
• The Fed lowering rates did not cause a rally, so what will? COVID-19 will continue to spread, with travel & crowd gatherings curtailed more; supply chains in trouble. Economies to be hurt for an extended time.
• Virus fear
• covid is out of control
• collapse in oil prices
• corona
• The news is bad

Question #4. What sort of hedging or portfolio protection strategies do you implement in your trading?

• Great question! Something i must work on.
• puts
• buying put spreads
• selling premium
• stops
• I only do speculative trading, however just buying gold or implementing covered calls should be enough.
• We will sometime place a collar on a long term position. I will also trade an underlying that is non-correlated to my open positions and finally we do use inverse TFs from time to time.
• 0
• Buying puts.
• puts
• puts
• gold
• 0
• Sell cash covered puts with low delta rather than buy stock
• emini’s bought and sold.
• I use Collar as a hedging strategy.
• go to cash
• option
• SPX puts
• Try to do a few points and sell after a 2% loss.
• None


Question #5. Additional Comments/Questions/Suggestions?

• Italy has a mortality rate of 26% of those severely infected. Since Italy is an 1st world country, how can China’s numbers be correct, given the fact it hit there 1st and China living conditions are inadequate compared to Italy? This is far worse than shown! Withn two months i believe they’ll be growing issues on every continent.
• Nobody I mean nobody can predict the stock market….only the cheaters.
