If that virus starts popping up all over the place, I think attendance everywhere for everything is going to go down. I hope and pray that they come up with a workable vaccine soon.

....going up and are instead going down too...

Not surprised about Clorox...

Its a very worrisome sign and furthermore, while Netflix may be up, and makes sense since more people will be home and streaming, but the flip side is that those companies have to meet the demand and costs of infrastructure to meet that increase in streaming demand, so this stock could go up and down a lot.

I sold a bid percentage of my stocks yesterday in my investment and retirement portfolio. I think its going to get really ugly and rocky for awhile and I wanted to cash out and park it while I watch things go down. Although I kept shares in KO (Coca Cola) and MSFT (Microsoft) that I have had for a long time and are at low purchase prices not even close to where the pricing is now (and they pay dividends), I just am watching things and don't feel so confident....not even in the gold mining stocks that are down as well and normally would be way up.

Tourism and economies dependent on tourism are going to get crushed. Watch medical closely. Part of the problem is how much is manufactured in China.
