Speaking of this horrible situation, obviously the economic fallout from coronavirus continues

to be absolutely astonishingly bad. Over 30 million people have now lost their jobs. They're talking about a 10-year recovery. Now it might be a good time to think about diversifying into precious models. Like, maybe you should have done that before when I told you to do so, like a year ago. Maybe it would have been a good idea to do this before. The stock market lost one-third of its value. And we don't know where the stock market is going right now. Frankly, it seems to a lot of people, like the stock market is sort of disconnected from underlying market fundamentals, given the fact that it's actually bumped in the last month, despite the fact that there's not really a lot of good news on the horizon. Well, right now might be a pretty good time to think about diversifying, at least a little bit into precious metals. And you know what I'm going to say.

where he explained that if people do not pay attention to the federal guidelines, maybe they will be reopening too soon. And then there will be consequences to reopening too soon.
