Sell Everything?

[justspare]

I was very tempted to sell my Bitcoin when the price started to drop but I had faith and kept my Bitcoin. Now I will not sell for a long time.

Sell everything meaning stay in cash, and be ready for great trading opportunities. Could be a great year for bitcoin even while the sky is falling for other markets.

it's very good, you do not panic when the price falls. yeah wait while halving occurs. I will sell it if there is a surge in the price.

You had taken the right decision. This is not the exact time for you to make the trade of your bitcoin. If you are holding it for a long time just wait with patience so soon you will get a great profit than what you have expected.

The price of Bitcoin is going to rise sooner rather later. So why would you sell your Bitcoin now?

[Jet Cash]

Well they would say that. Now that the government allows bail-ins, they can grab any deposits or bank bonds to cover their crappy derivative losses. If you are interested in preserving capital, then don't leave it with a bank, it is now treated as an asset and not a liability.

Selling right now is madness!
Sell at 600$ in few months if you must but probably we can ses 800 or 900 by the end of this year!
But nothing for sure!

agreed, selling now just for cashing out and not trading is madness, 600$ feels like a certainty but like you said we cant know for sure. but we can believe

[FlyingSaucer]

I don't suggest selling right now the price is too low and unstable at that.

Selling now is very risky. Because the price can go up easily.
We have to wait what will happen offcourse, but right now..
I am not selling.

[newcoins1978]

yup... never sell right now, as the price is now moving up again... the good thing to do now is to wait,,,   

It's always good to have some patience when it comes to trading.
Panic actions; i.e. panic buying and/or panic selling are a guarantee for loss.
So I would not sell all, but sell a little bit, which i did.

[jaysabi]

Somewhere along the line, this thread changed from being about a very broad range of investment assets (as in the the OP) and somehow became strictly about bitcoin. The OP has very little to do with bitcoin. All of you folks posting about bitcoin in relation to this thread read absolutely nothing in this thread:

most probably they are replying on the lines before them.   they haven't read the OP, so I guess its normal, I always see some of those in other threads as well, it is because the lines before them are not related to the OP, so they answer, and I sometimes do that too..lets just hope they won't do it again.

Royal Bank of Scotland economists have urged investors to sell everything except high-quality bonds, warning of a “fairly cataclysmic year ahead.”

Writing in a client note dated Jan. 8, the bank’s European rates research team said that clients should be concentrating on return of capital, not return on capital, and that an ominous outlook to the world economy “all looks similar to 2008.”

The Key Points

• The note is particularly bearish on China and global commodities, and predicts that oil could fall as low as $16 a barrel.
• In a grim set of predictions, Andrew Roberts, head of European economics, rates & CEEMEA research said that the world has far too much debt to be able to grow well.
• He also warned that advances in technology and automation are set to wipe out up to half of all jobs in the developed world.
• The note says equities could fall 10% to 20%.
• It predicts the year will be spent focusing on how to exit positions that have benefited from long-running QE, including emerging markets, credit and equities.

A 10 to 20% fall in equities certainly isn't a long shot. QE has produced a long run-up in stock prices, and on average, we see a market correction of 10% every two years and a 20% correction every five years. Still, the advice to "sell everything" seems a bit much.

For me is everything exaggerated. First I don't believe that in such few time can be something big like that what which is happen at 2008. To not forget that the crisis began at 2008, first, is the second biggest one after the crisis of the '30 and, second, is not you surpassed fully. So, all the world is working to eliminate all the consequences of this crisis and meanwhile are annalists which predict another one similar to that? First of all this mean that everyone has learned nothing from the previous one and I cannot believe that all the other people who worked in this direction are stupid and are not able to learn how to prevent the happening of the same or the similar thing and only the above annalists are good professional. Then (second) how is possible that only the above annalists are so able to understand so very well the overall world economic situation and the other similar of them not?

As for me they want fame.

Downturns in the market are common. RBS is not saying this year is going to be as bad as 2008 (they're not saying it's not either, that's your comparison), they're saying it's going to be a bad year and you should flee to safe assets to preserve capital. The market doesn't only go up or explode in crisis. The market has a down year on average for every two up years, and the 1920s was not the last time the market had a crisis. The market has had significant trouble of varying degrees in the early 2000s, the 1980s, and the 1940s. Downturns are common, and they are a normal and healthy part of the business cycle.

I don't agree or disagree with RBS's analysis that this will be a bad year, only the advice that the reasonable thing to do is sell everything in response.

So you are not agree or disagree with RBS analysis but are telling that "RBS is not saying this year is going to be as bad as 2008 (they're not saying it's not either, that's your comparison)" and in your main post you wrote: that an ominous outlook to the world economy “all looks similar to 2008.”. And the part in question mark must be their citation. This my poor in conception and lack in meanings mind understand totally different and against one another these two your sentences. In other words, again according to the above typo my mind, there are simply stupid game of words without meaning and reasoning. So needed to tell something different but have no importance what. It is not my comparison the comparison with the 2008 but your comparison and if true that you have wrote even their comparison. Written clear in your main post. If something is similar with 2008 like is told in your main post that mean that mean that we are in crisis. This is first.

Second thanks for explaining me that "The market has a down year on average for every two up years, and the 1920s was not the last time the market had a crisis." It is a big surprise for me to know and to understand today that the crisis of 1920 was not the last crisis that the market had. According to me and to that I teach to my students at the Faculty of Economy since 16 years the crisis of 1920 was the only one before the one of 2008. So I will do a big correction to my book of management in which is treated various times the theme of crisis in capitalism, their cycles, their causes etc writing only this monumental teach had from your post. The crisis of 1920 is not the last one had the capitalism before the crisis of 2008. I have only a little question. Could you please show me where have you read this my big thoughts about this crisis in my post?

Third. I don't see any kind of connection between my post and your post. You give lessons (as for me bullshits) asked by no one about things that have nothing to do with what I have write in my post. It would be better for you that the next time, before do a post or a reply, to try to understand what is told in the post to which you answer. I speak in my post ONLY for the comparison of the actual situation (always based TOTALLY in what you have written in your main post) with the situation of 2008 (given from you with question marks and if so rigorously cited from the source). I don't mention nothing about the overall crisis and their cycle - which is not trued that is 2 year because before were much more longs and now a little shorter and never there are defined time which can be taken as reference because of the complexity of today economy and the learnings had about those in time - but the most two big such. I speak about the Empire State Building and Tour Eiffel and you teach me that are not only these "builds" in this world but even the build when live you.

And the last one that I have pleasure to specify is another BIG teach from you (always given at your monumental post): "Downturns are common, and they are a normal and healthy part of the business cycle."

Really first time in all these years I have on my shoulders, that see with my eyes someone who pretend and write - being totally sure about this - that crisis are healthy for the business. It will be enough this sentence for me to ignore totally your posts but I will not do this because I'm very curious to see until in which point will go your being sure in telling other pearls like this. If it will be again the case to met each other in other threads. Because hope to not have more desire to reply to another your - like above - comment to this my comment to your monumental above comment.

It'd be easier to respond to you if I could understand what you were saying. All I've gotten is that you're attempting to be condescending, but unfortunately your lack of proficiency in English makes all the little barbs I'm sure you were so proud of fall pretty flat. Perhaps you can't find a link between my response and your response because I was trying to respond to the gibberish you spouted all over the place. If I failed to understand what you were trying to say, that's due to your failure to communicate clearly. I gave it my best shot deciphering what you were trying to say. I'll just stay clear next time, as it was wasted effort.

This sentence tell everything about you. Unable to understand first of all what is wrote in my post. Unable to understand your language firstly and then, secondly, what is written by me as an answer to your idiot reply But if is only this? Don't giving in your post even only one example of my "wrong English sentences or expressed thoughts" in my post your words smell even another thing. Smelling a totally inability of you to create posts with meaning not in English but even within yourself. This make you to write occasionally things (those which passes in your empty head) which have nothing to do with those to which you are referred. The main aim: to make one post thinking that only combining some words heard at television or copied by some newspaper make you a fully competent to create such. Have no importance what is written. Important is the post. Then when someone (poor him) who find the time to have to do with species like you explain your stupidity in that you have written, you have a total block and are not able not only to understand the thoughts of the other but even the language itself used by him. And the most common way in such cases is to denigrate the other using only words and don't giving any kind of example to argues your "thoughts" (what a shame to use such words in this case - even are within quotes). Again using copy-paste words. I may have made some grammatical error (even I am curious to see it) but my English is way better than yours and, that is important in this case, is that the language have nothing to do with the meaning of the post. So what must be understand and the reason of the post is what is within it and not the English. But as I was convinced since your first post in you is missing the brain as a physical substance. And when is so and cannot be understand the post the most easy way to go out of this heavy situation is the accuse to not understand because of the bad language used. Poor you. You have any kind of fault.

When the oil price reaches $20 or less per barrel, we can buy oil related stocks to benefit from the future rise  of oil price.

[Bitcoinbro]

Noo Don't to that. Just save your Bitcoin. Or buy some more.
The price of the Bitcoin is now low.

You if you wait a little you can sell it later so you have more money.

[DimensionZ]

I don't recommend selling any coins in these turbulent times only if you have an emergency and need the cash urgently in your daily life.

[LuckyYOU]

I would say the same thing, but I think we have to wait a little bit longer.
If we buy it now its for a good price and I think for a huge profit in the future of the bitcoins.

[ikydesu]

I doubt if you sell everything, they(who tell you sell everything)(*in this case bitcoin) will buy it low price. Bitcoin will worth in the future.

[praprata]

I doubt if you sell everything, they(who tell you sell everything)(*in this case bitcoin) will buy it low price. Bitcoin will worth in the future.

Yes I am 100% agree with you. I think you just have to wait until it will be more worth.
I think its not good to sell everything now. Unless you now need money.
