My view, barring a miracle which nips this in the bud in the next few weeks, is this is going to be the mother of all mothers of a stock/bond market debacle - consequences yet unforeseen. Fed is already moving to backup money market funds. Remember way back when some broke the buck? The virus isn't going away anytime soon b/c US, like Italy, is pussyfooting around on containment attempts. The world will be a very different place in its aftermath.
Coming Monday is March 23. 3/23/20. Really bad number. BA will go bankrupt. We will have 3000 less on DOW Jones.
It is like they made a decision to evicerate the entire travel and tourism industries without thinking that they'd bankrupt a nationally security interest in Boeing. Insanity. My guess is they will do some sort of receivership like they did with GM. Or maybe we can all stop pretending there ever was a seperation of government and they should just nationalize the airline industry.
