Wow. Express a different opinion from yours and you are a “broken mind.” You must be a joy in the cockpit.

Yeah what a piece of work that guy is! I’ll prefer to listen to my wife and her fellow doctor friends talk about this and what they think vs guys like him on APC.

If you are talking about retirement funds you won’t be needing anytime soon, so what? Just stay the course. The problem with market timing is you have to right twice....when to get out and then when to get back in. How many folks that freaked out in the fall of 2008 by going all cash got back in during mid March of 2009?

A good comparison of coronavirus to some of the other scares. It blows them out of the water.

Animation: coronavirus spread faster than SARS, MERS or Ebola

So, I might get my social security?!?

The market tanking occasionally isn’t all bad unless you’re already retired. While some panic, others are buying discounted shares.

It seems possible that it will not be the virus itself that does the most damage, but the behavior of people responding to the “perceived” risk.

If/when there is a global recession/depression, job losses, crisis of governance will cause much more damage than a virus with a mortality rate of 2%.

A furlough will be much more damaging to my family than a virus that will likely be no more symptomatic than a flu (for our age group and overall health).
