and people will argue well the problem is beyond the kills, it will cause supply chain shut downs etc.
do a search - how many times have they pushed supply chain problem before the earning runs for AAPL? and how many times have they pushed that the trade war will cause a global protectionism?
and we knew about the problem on 1/24 and 1/27 right? but no that was inconvenient because the MAGA earnings were yet to be reported and them boys haven't unloaded the shares for the earning run...
so now the next earning run is still 2 months away, perfect timing now, let's put out a media campaign and knock all the weak hands out.
make them sheep really painful for a month, them moms and pops scare to death some virus will kill them dead...
look at this volume, lots of weak hands giving up.
them boys brilliant.
but if you stay cool and think a bit, this is more bogus than the 2015 china slow down scare - the virus will go away and all the production capacity will come back... the 2015 scare sounded like the slow down is a permanent down slope.
then 2016, again, was very bogus... the oil scare.
but them boys have this ability to make the sheep believe the scare is real.... I mean other wise very few sheep will actually give up.....
it's a media driven society.... nobody dead yet, but now this is more scary than the regular flu that kills 15000-80000 per year in the US alone.... and more scary than heart disease that kills 600,000 per year.... no who cares about those, double cheese whopper meals here we come.... in an SUV that will flip over and kill you dead.... btw 30-40,000 die in them traffic accidents.
but who cares about those.... right now zero death, but does it matter.... them control the media, panic story them sell, so panic the sheep go.
remember these days folks.
