RE:Use this as an opportunity to buy quality stocksAnd to my point of the level of hysteria, I defy anyone to demonstrate how coronavirus is worse than the seasonal flu. For the US alone as of February 29 the seasonal flu has killed approximately 20,000 people, including over 100 children. Show me how coronavirus is deadlier and deserves the reaction it has gotten. I’d love someone to explain how coronavirus is anything other than a bad flu (even though it has killed less than 70 in the US thus far and no children, suggesting it might not even be that bad) and why we are crushing the global economy over it.
But I predicted this and my suggestion on how to handle it now is in the post below. JMHO. GLTA.

I was mocked and ridiculed. I told you energy stocks would be most affected. That was met with even more mocking and ridicule. I told you VET had an unsustainable dividend that needed to be significantly cut and a mess of a balance sheet. A bunch here had me shut down from posting for a week for emphasizing that.
So I have been 100% spot on. I also have been telling people to keep money in the sidelines to avoid investment losses and to use this as an investment opportunity at the right time. On Wednesday of last week I said the opportunity has now come and to systematically invest in the market over the next 7-10 trading days. I still stand by this.
The hysteria has gone beyond beyond my wildest dreams and I expected a lot of hysteria. I defy anyone to demonstrate how coronavirus numbers are worse than the seasonal flu. But the extreme overreaction is what it is. Never underestimate the stupidity of politicians and bureaucrats. And never underestimate the stupidity of people to give politicians and bureaucrats too much power to do too much and wreak havoc.
Hopefully you heeded my earlier advice and have plenty of dry powder. As I told you earlier, buy quality companies with excellent balance sheets. VET is not one of them. MX is my personal favorite.
