Idk if this belongs at HN but if it does, then isn't this the greatest opportunity post 2008 crash to invest in to the markets?

Assuming we’re at the bottom, with the virus concerns, plus the much earlier bond yield inversions we could be always from bottom.

The recent drop is not very significant (a little over 10%). The Great Financial Crisis caused a 60% drop around 2008/2009.

Yields have been declining since the 80s [0]. It could be the greatest opportunity, but a trade like that might take a lifetime to pan out.

Betting against rate decreases in the long term is likely a terrible financial decision.

The 2008 GFC was a good opportunity invest in hindsight because for a period of time stock prices were low and the economy recovered within a few years.

However today stock prices only 12%~ off all time highs and some are predicting prolonged stagflation.

I see, there was a similar drop in 2018. So not really that great of a fall.
