Italy is one thing, but countries that allow free passage to people from unhygienic cultures spell the end.
It’s a done deal. Behavior at major airports is unacceptable. It is all over the world, and just has to run its course. Like I said in the end it might have done some good, but in the meantime there will be pain—which is something I like to avoid.
There are too many people, with too much mobility, for any other outcome. I have friends bunkering down in the mountains in Schweiz, they will be incommunicado until fall at best. I know someone who is en route to his pacific island. I am telling you, the smart money is leaving the market.
Today is one thing, who knows about tomorrow. IMO there is just as great a chance that we end the week even, as there is that we end 3k down. Problem is, I see no upside scenario until summer, maybe.
Stocks would have to be picked and watched very carefully, maybe a handful of specific trades.
