little's screaming the sky is falling. Isn't that what the "experts" always say - buy low sell high?

Good grief folks - the hysteria being generated about a virus that his infected some 85k people out of the 7 Billion(+) on the planet is a bit overdone. Worldwide (and especially in the USA), there is a much greater danger of catching and dying from the flu than the Coronavirus. Just this past year the USA has had over 200k cases of the flu that resulted in 30k deaths - why ain't the market freaking out about that?

Should the USA be concerned? Absolutely - take common sense precautions to contain this stuff, but there is absolutely no reason to panic.

Unfortunately, partisan politicians and their news media lemmings have decided to stoke the Coronavirus fears with the immediate goal of hurting the US economy in the futile hopes it will damage President Trump's re-election chances. Just six months ago, these same politicians and media outlets were breathlessly spewing a baseless made up "imminent recession" narrative that created a short term market panic. Funny how all the recession talk disappeared once calmer minds really looked at things and the actual economic numbers proved this to be total BS. What this proves to me is that stock market traders and experts are lot like lemmings too - they see one guy panic and they all start running without even really knowing what they are running from.

Hold your fire folks - the market will recover once the Coronavirus hysteria subsides as people quickly start to realize this thing ain't the second coming of the 1918 Spanish Flu...
