What to Do When Your Portfolio Faces A Virus

Imagine driving down a steep, windy road and losing your brakes. Maybe you’ve had this nightmare? You start pumping the brakes over and over in hopes of regaining control. That’s close to what it feels like to be an investor in today’s market environment. So far, the markets in March have been on a roller-coaster ride with drops of anywhere from 700 to 1,000 points daily.

Economists are also worried about lower earnings and consumer spending from travel bans and work stoppages. The result, many analysts worry, would be an anemic economy.
