I've sold all my banana stock yesterday. "An “apocalyptic” scenario for the most popular type of banana may be unfolding in Latin America. A strong and incredibly hard to stop fungus has been spotted in the area. The fungus, a strain of Fusarium oxysporum, is known as Tropical Race 4, the New York Post reports. The Colombian Agricultural Institute has confirmed that a strain of TP4 was found. This caused the government to declare a national state of emergency. Farmers were ordered to destroy crops in the area where the fungus was discovered and to quarantine plantations. While these extreme measures have been taken, it unfortunately may not be enough to stop the spread of the banana-killing fungus." https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/banana-targeting-fungus-extinction-latin-america

If your banana holdings were in an unaffected area your stock may have sky rocketed.

I always feared a fungus on my banana when I was younger-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!
