the stock market has been a little bit volatile, and by that I mean that it lost like-third of its entire value over the course of the last six weeks. And now it's bumped up a little bit, but it's going to bounce down again because the fact is that we don't know what course coronavirus is going to take at this point.

This might be a good time to think about maybe diversifying at least a little bit into precious metals. So what exactly are you waiting for? You shouldn't just rely on the stock market.

there is nothing to be relaxed about. I mean, if you're not having nightmares at this point,

if you are not nervous, if your blood pressure isn't higher, then really good for you. And

please tell me how you're doing it. Because the reality is that, well, concern is absolutely

that has been coming in. You know, the fact is that you can't watch the footage from New York
