NOTE!!! I'm just posting this because it caught my eye. From my layman's point of view the guy puts forth a pretty credible case. I'll let you decide whether or not he's close or wildly off the mark. One thing I do know. The FED caught me off guard with their emergency rate cut and it did nothing to stop the bears from trampling all over last years profit in the stock market. Now? Now we're looking at an oil crash. The problem from my chair? We're at least seeing the possibility of a repeat of 2008. Do you remember the basic problem? The velocity of money was slowing so dramatically that the economy was gonna seize up. One (more) last thing. Economist have been predicting a recession in 2020 since early last year. Just Google "are we looking at a recession" and you'll see tons of articles from last year, early this year.

Hedge fund bear Kevin Smith says that the coronavirus outbreak has triggered a stock market crash.
