Pandemic Bonds.................True story. This is a setup.

Isnt it funny how they wanted to hold off calling it a pandemic.

Nope, not close to a pandemic but the possibility exist and we should be better prepared. Apparently it is a lot more contagious and mortality rates are higher. If it gets a foothold it could be disastrous. I'm concerned but not unduly. Made significant investment in stock market yesterday, probably a little prematurely.

And Stevie, I never said I wanted it to happen, but that if electing someone other than Trump caused a recession, I would prefer that over Trump. The caronavirus has undoubtedly hurt the markets because so much is dependent on supplies from China that have been disrupted. I am cautious enough that I cancelled a cruise we had scheduled late Spring. Trump certainly has not instilled any confidence in our ability to deal with it. His anti-science agenda, budget reductions to the CDC and NIH and off the wall comments have had negative impact. But he does think the Dems have the ability to retroactively affect markets with their comments in the debate.
