"...the market manipulations by central banks may have made this worse..."
May?
JFC. These markets have been completely manufactured by the incessant pumping of $T's into them - and the pockets of the investor class (all that pumped money is debt, for which government, and thus wage earners/taxpayers are on the hook in the future. This market has been the biggest theft in history). There is almost no correlation between price and value anymore. This is why Buffet is on the sidelines, and why everyone not all in on the VIX should be too.
Thanks!
Agreed. The Korona virus is the perfect scapegoat.
BTW, Austrian Korona's seem to be a fine investment presently. Just sayin'...
Most likely.
