For news. Use second order thinking (as explained by Howard Marks) to analyze.
If it is obvious, unlikely to make big money.

Is your shares at Custodian Acct safe?
i understand when 2008/2009 collapsed of Lehman Brothers, etc... the custodian accounts there were in a mess.
It takes quite sometime to sort out.
Has everyone got back all his shares?
Will CDP ever collapse? If it happens, what happens to our shares?

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

lol human are genetically optimistic since we (insert choice here) (came down from trees/created from earth by God/genetically modified by aliens.)
If we keep thinking about collapse, end of the world etc, we would not be able to move forward.
