I opened a cash account and plan to keep it pretty simple for now, no futures, options or selling short. I may not even use stop losses. If the prices keep falling I'll keep buying. I have 20+ years till retirement age so I have time to ride it out. As long as prices go back up eventually I'll come out ahead and I'm pretty sure once fears of Covid-19 go away things will level off. There is no guarantee stock prices will ever be as high as they were recently, but I'm willing to take some risk.



Thanks. I think it is hard for anyone to tell the bottom, even the experienced. They say to never time the market. As long as I'm not buying at the top I think I can eventually come out ahead.
