The stock market is undergoing an official correction, which means the price has fallen at least 10% from its high. The question is why. I’ve written about this before as the situation was unfolding. But as I consider the current state of the stock market right now, there are the only three possibilities I see… and two of the three point to even lower prices.

The stock market is undergoing an official correction, which means the price has fallen at least 10% from its high. The question is why. I’ve written about this before as the situation was unfolding. But as I consider the current state of the stock market right now, there are the only three possibilities I see… and two of the three point to even lower prices. Here Are The Three Possibilities I See: 1) The decline is an overreaction to coronavirus fears. 2) The decline is a justified reaction to the possibility of a pandemic. 3) This is a typical decline that precedes a recession. The best case is that the market is overreacting to the coronavirus. But we have seen pandemics before, and traders didn’t react like this. For example, in 2009, pH1N1 influenza swept across the globe. According to the CDC reports, from April 2009 to April 2010, the United States experienced approximately 60.8 million cases, 274,304 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths due to the virus. And what did the stock market do? A lot, actually. Over that same period, the S&P climbed 48%. So, the last time we dealt with a… Read More

They often say that Disney World is the most magical place on earth. Maybe. But trust me, that charm wears thin when you’ve been standing in lines for about eight hours at the end of a tiring day. And that’s a conservative estimate. My family and I just got back from Mickey’s house last week. The shortest queue of the entire trip was 30 minutes… but that was only for ice cream. The kids were out of school for winter break, and we thought February might be a bit less crowded than the peak summer months. Judging by the throngs… Read More

They often say that Disney World is the most magical place on earth. Maybe. But trust me, that charm wears thin when you’ve been standing in lines for about eight hours at the end of a tiring day. And that’s a conservative estimate. My family and I just got back from Mickey’s house last week. The shortest queue of the entire trip was 30 minutes… but that was only for ice cream. The kids were out of school for winter break, and we thought February might be a bit less crowded than the peak summer months. Judging by the throngs of people, there is no “off-season” in Orlando. Approximate wait times for most of the bigger attractions were 120 minutes or more. Trying to ride more than four or five in a single day is almost physically impossible. The one exception: Star Wars Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios. It’s Disney’s most expensive, ambitious and immersive experience yet. But the line is virtual. As soon as the gates open promptly at 8 AM, visitors log in to their Disney apps and click a button to reserve a boarding pass for the ride. Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge;… Read More
