The golden rule in the markets that has been valid for over 100 years is to ignore what the news/tv is telling you as the cause of the drop. Yes, Coronavirus is out there, but something else is lurking too. Trumps fat-cat giveaway has overheated the economy big-time and it might have started to come off the boil in Q1. People on the inside know already. The fat-cats are heavy so they tread lightly at first towards the exit before the rest of us can leave.

Trump is so idiotic, he might well be walking into a full on crisis by Nov and he doesnt even know it.

I don't think its coronavirus either. Stocks are way overpriced and have to fall. Rich people have too much money and keep putting it in the stock market.

supply lines, trade are a big trigger.

and would fall anyway, but the Corona virus is a "black swan" event that will and is triggering that fall.

Most economists (except the bought & paid for, like always wrong Kudlow) were anticipating a correction downward.
The uncertainty in the Far East over the illness could be the trigger that starts a moderate correction.

quarterly financial reports; stocks, 401's, etc.

As trump as frequently noticed, and I think he is correct here, folk notice those things.

it's hurting the stock market.

Lost a full percentage point.

All you need is 2M to get 1000 shares and then sell it off and make a fast 100-200K in the coming weeks. Down around 2,000 per share a little while ago.
