Welcome to the Jill on Money Coronavirus Market Update. It is Friday.

Oh, thank God the week is over. It has been a long one. So we are recording this on March 19th. It will be live in your

feed on Friday the 20th, and you'll be happy to know that yes we do stop trading on the

weekends thank goodness so a momentous week thankfully today Thursday not a huge day.

It was bouncing around, markets were a little crazy,

there wasn't a lot of action out of DC,

maybe next week, we don't know, but when we have details I'll let you know

but through Thursdays closed the news was better at least the S&P and Dow up just

a bit about a half to 1% the NASDAQ gaining some ground over 2% but it was

question specifically because there's something going on in your life you know during this time where it requires a big decision fast, send us an email.
