Current Market Crash

The current market crash reminds me of 2 songs:

This is what you came for (by Calvin Harris and Rihanna)

散了吧 It's over (by Terry Lin)

Now, I guess that I'm done selling almost all the positions I don't want to hold throught this crash. (Never, say never though. I am sell if I find myself short of cash or the holding turns out to be more affected by US tariffs than I thought.)

Moving forward, I am waiting for prices to drop further. I will start to buy the quality stocks in my watchlist, in tranches, as their prices dropped to my buy point.

If President Trump does not pivot on his tariffs, the market may be in the doldrums for quite some time. There are potential negative events such as:
- EU imposing tariffs on US
- US re-retaliating tariffs against China / EU
- US impose new tariffs on semicon, pharma, copper
- US entering recession 
- Fed not cutting rates due to high inflation (arising from tariffs)
- Unknown negative events (e.g. Who predicted AIG going under in early 2008?)

I will be very sparing in firing my bullets in this market downturn.
