Good Evening, Before anyone asks, I think it’s a buying opportunity! My charts are still good, corporate earnings are still good (Netfix and IBM both posted earnings beats just today), the China deal is still intact, Brexit is a go…..and we have a virus….No Sir, not selling, I’m all in for now….. So what’s up. The corona virus. Do any of you remember the SARS virus? It started in China after somehow being transferred from animals to humans. I don’t remember which animals. It may have been poultry. All I remember is that it messed the world economy up because no one would travel or spend money in public places. Well it seems that something weird is going on in the animal kingdom in China again and investors are worried about a new pandemic and how it might effect the world economy. This virus is in the same family of viruses as SARS. They think it was transferred from sea food this time. I wonder what in the world they were eating??? I don’t want to make lite of the the folks that have lost their lives to the corona virus but I think this is little overdone at this point. You can decide for yourself. The bottom line is this. The corona virus is not as bad as SARS and the response by the world health community has been much better. I’m still a buyer….
