The good folks on this board talked me into holding the course when the markets tanked (sort of) in 2018. I'm glad I did. It paid off. I'm hoping it will again.

Meh I just keep putting money into my funds and buying ETFs as long as it keeps going down. Won't be selling shit either, you only lost the money if you go out and panic sell it all now. I have enough cash saved up I have no need to touch those investments.

I predict the day a working vaccine hits the news, the markets will soar.

They have already injected people with trial vaccines. The issue is just the testing, I mean I'm sure they want to do it as quickly as possible but at the same time you have to make sure it works and doesn't kill you. Now if the virus was killing 50% of people or something you could argue fuck testing just do it.
As for hoarding, they simply shouldn't allow anyone to buy more than X amount of essential shit and whatever you do buy during this time you can't return. I honestly don't even know if they are doing that around here or not because I've just been ordering everything online.
