Economic spokesman for the White House, Chuck Williams, claimed, “People use words like slump, looming economic depression, lowest recorded IQ of any president ever, as though they’re bad things.

I wish I could buy stocks right now…

You still can afford to buy socks. That's almost the same, just a letter of difference.

We have no idea how far the market will crash.

I can't just buy in an impulse. I need to study before doing so.

EutelSat, and the European MIC just got a $800b investment. Also, NANC and KRUZ might work. They follow the stock actions of major politicians like Pelosi, though dated by 30-60ish days IIRC. You won't be quite on top of things with them, but at least you will be imitating the moves of the most informed fish.

...mind, if the market tanks, buying and selling might move too quickly for NANC and Kruz to be useful.

Study what exactly?

To be fair you shouldn’t just be buying stocks and shares randomly. But there is loads of easily available info on ETFs.
