7. I understand what you just wrote, but I don't see how that's an answer to my question.

I know why the market was rising, and I know why it has fallen, but what I don't understand is how it would actually work that buying in now is bailing anyone else out?

Are you suggesting that the buying will move the market back up and thereby keep those "asses" from realizing losses?

Is that it?

No one bails anyone out of anything when they buy or sell shares of stock. I'm sorry, but I just don't see what it is you are trying to get at, other than a sort of angry point that some assholes don't deserve to make any money.

And BTW, if and when you are prepared to "call the bottom", i.e: "truly bottoms out", please let us all know.

The OP simply quoted an article from a group that one can subscribe to, and they will suggest buys and sells. They might have some decent analysts, but they don't have a crystal ball, not by any stretch.

Sure. Use your stimulus checks to bail out those assholes who bought into the market at Yavin4 Apr 2020 #4

Please explain the mechanism of how that would work. A HERETIC I AM Apr 2020 #5
