Covid 19 - Coronavirus - Two Words - "Mystery" and "Virus" from China

[SOMEPARTS]

I'm going to guess that the market rallies mon,tues,wed,  fed probably drops rates 50bp but then the market will dump again thurs, fri, as more profits are taken.

Strong call - especially with Bloomberg buying a 3 minute spot to spread fear on prime time Monday..

Either way one thing's for sure...there will be sheep sheared this week up or down as large traders and their algos just flat out benefit first in volatility like this. Some "really smart" day traders are about to get a snap back to reality.

I'd imagine it's been spreading in every popular western country for weeks now.This pretty much confirmed it's been in Washington for 6 weeks.

Yep. And you heard this 6 weeks ago not from WHO, not from CDC, not from Trump, but rather from GetBig via Gib.

[SouJerz]

I would get the WSJ if you care about actual information based news.  If you need infographics Vice and buzzfeed will make your eyes happy.

Miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Oh...one of those people that thinks the stock market is 100% of the "shots".

Fed drops 50 basis points and Dow down 800 points.

Companies are cancelling flights and telling people to work remotely. Methinks this will have a bit of staying power marketwise.

Defnitely   25bps  cut on march 16-17th   followed by more market bleeding.
And the market is what you want to make of it.  I like to play like the hedgefunds,  I open and close positions all the time, i add or subtract to positions too.  There is no hedgefund in the world that has a portfolio management of "BUY!!!! HOLD!!!!! WEATHER THE STORM CASH OUT PROFITS IN 50 YEARS!!!,  HOORAY YOURE RICH!!!!'

COMIC-CON: Coronavirus Safety Guide for Conventions

[SOMEPARTS]

WHO confirms current global average death rate at 3.4%. Regular flu kills at .1%.

[gib]

Hey 'genius' what's happen with Coronavirus infection of NY & SF before other places 

Once again, now you realize what an absolute idiot you are - you must now realize, I TOLD YOU SO!

[gib]

China is way way under-reporting. There are (according to my sources) hundreds of thousands of people
infected over the last month and many are terribly suffering (although death rate is only around 1/100). Its terribly bad. Watch the news a week from now ...

What did I say, 6 weeks ago...

[Rambone]

If you’re an old, already sick chinaman with pre-existing conditions...PIP!

[gib]

Told. You. So.

Agree - as I wrote many weeks ago, worst hit are smokers (of any age), elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory or organ issues (Dallas McCarver would have been hit hard as he both smoked, had lung issues, and organ issues...)

[gib]

Still no apology from iron cross ...

Nothing but crickets. ...

WHO confirms current global average death rate at 3.4%. Regular flu kills at .1%.

Death rate sure.

But this virus is also so harch it can permanently damage your lungs, even your CNS I believe...

[Desolate]

LOL.

This is hilarious.

No Time to Die, the latest James Bond film, delayed until November in response to coronavirus.

The following statement was made today by the producers of the new James Bond film:
MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of 'No Time To Die' will be postponed until November 2020. The film will be released in the U.K. on November 12, 2020 with worldwide release dates to follow, including the US launch on November 25, 2020.




I think they know that they already got a "woke" train wreck on their hands.

All the rumors about it and then that teaser.

Coronaviris will further weaken an already bad-looking film... especially the international box office.

[SOMEPARTS]

Death rate sure.

But this virus is also so harch it can permanently damage your lungs, even your CNS I believe...

I haven't posted about much it as it's pretty far out conspiracy-wise but some say it was spliced with HIV which is why they were treating it with HIV drugs in China.

I was in a CVS today and an Asian family came in and carted ALL the bottled water left out of the store.
