How many times do I need to repeat myself?

IT'S NOT THE KNOWN BUT THE UNKNOWN THAT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE, YA MORON!!!

BTW you been dead wrong about this market going to the Mars. Thank God, nobody mortgaged their home following your advice.

you idiot you apparently haven't made shit from the market.

don't tell me about the unknown, I have recommended this book call the 'Nature of Risk' by Mamas.

please. go read that book.

And when all the millennial fags stay home for a month from work because they catch a sniffle, that is going to cascade through this world economy like it never has before.

Because they have no bloody backbone, because they have been pampered their whole lives and cannot face adversity by "toughing it out." And they will WHINE about their problem on social media, which will simply propagate the problem faster, like a real virus does.

Ok, boomer.

You can’t even tell btw up and down.
Please stay away from complex topics.

Complex topics involves stuff like:
- 2nd order effects
- Non linearity
- Unkowns
...

Er, Don't think Trump is very smart but he is President, @dozu888 may not know up from down but he is printing $.

None of us are infectious disease experts (at least I am not) so I doubt we are arguing with facts or knowledge.

I do have one piece of statistics to indicate the ultimate death rate may not be as high as the 2-3% quoted. Singapore has 150 confirmed cases and no fatality. That means if catches early, and with good healthcare systems, it can be managed. Furthermore, many of the cases are quite mild and likely undetected. If you include those cases in China, their death rate would be much lower.

the power of adequate healthcare, being an Island, competent leadership, & proactive response. Look at Italy for a better example

I recommend everyone read this... not only treating the market, but life in general.

They are no morons. Its because of he unknown about the virus - no vaccine in sight for at least a year, compounding growth in cases (check the daily updates on the cases/death) - if you compound that a number of months worldwide you would be scared as well. Two months ago, there were 8 deaths. Now it is 5000 (625 times!) Imagine two/four months from now we have 625 X 5000 (3million) I am sure even you would be hiding in a closet!

Of course we can pray that containment will work or temperature rise will bring a respite - like seasonal flu. But right now its only a hope!

Viruses don't compound infinitely any more than sub-par traders do...especially in our age of quarantines and real-time updates. China's rates have tapered off since 2/14. There's no reason to expect it will continue growing at some exponential rate in other countries if it's been slowing down in China.

No wonder so many people (especially traders) are gullible...
