Black Monday

As some analysts expect, If infections peak by March or April similar to China in other countries, then we could have a return to normal economic activity in the second half of 2020. Monetary and fiscal stimulus can also help markets. The Spread of corona beyond China made markets nervous. However, it created some great opportunities as well. Many of the past month’s winners sit in the S&P 500's consumer-staples group.

Joshua tree,
All that happens is they shut the wells in and pump crude when prices are more favourable... Some will have forward contracts locking prices up, and exchange rates....
...
Asian markets have struggled today and DOW futures looking down 600points...
Lots to be fearful about Corona virus spreading fast now...
Gona be some heavy sell days going... swing trading wont be profitable ... need to get trades moving 10% before they even profitable...

I think fears are overdone. Nearly 80% of people have a minor illness. With coronavirus, it will burn itself out in the end. On the whole, the greater the fall in the markets, the greater the bounce back eventually. We are being bombarded by the media.

Those are my thoughts as well, and average age of the people that are dying is 80y

Yep. Ubiquitous social media and news feeds all bombarding everyone into a panicked frenzy. I don't think it will be too long - once infection rates peak in the hardest hit countries - that we'll see the desire to normalcy supersede the ongoing fear and anxiety.

At a 10% hospitalization rate, all hospital beds in the U.S. will be filled by about May 10. And with many patients requiring weeks of care, turnover will slow to a crawl as beds fill with Covid-19 patients
