The rapid spread of the coronavirus has quickly halted economies, sending shock waves throughout financial markets around the world.
The S&P 500 is already down 30% from its all-time highs made just five weeks ago.
In comparison, it took about a year to drop 30% the midst of the 2000 tech bubble and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.
Many are wondering if we're in the early stages of another recession… or worse, a depression.
So, does that mean the stock market will close?

We've entered a bear season.
Securities have fallen 20% from recent highs.
And it seems the markets get more uncertain with each day COVID-19 is around.
The spread of coronavirus is called a "black swan event."
It's the word for an unpredictable scenario that creates a more erratic market than normal.
Well, the gloom of a word like "black swan" isn't lost on anybody right now.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is up above 60.
For perspective, the VIX has barely broken 30 in the last 10 years.
What this means is, unfortunately, most people don't know what's going on.
Or what's going to happen.
But let's not forget, even in times like these, there is a right way to handle your money.

Even though the U.S. Federal Reserve suddenly cut interest rates 50 basis points on Tuesday to combat the market dropping 12% last week, it wasn't enough to calm markets down.
The day of the emergency rate cut, the Dow Jones dropped 700 points.
On Wednesday, the Dow was up 1,100 points… Only to give back most of the gains on Thursday, when it dropped another 1,000 points.
And halfway through the trading day Friday, it's already down another 600 points.
Whether coronavirus is the event that takes out the market or not, you have to be prepared.
You need a plan.
And we've done the research on how to protect your money.
Here are the two best ways to hedge coronavirus fears in case this volatility continues.

Gold investors are getting frustrated as the price of gold continues to drift sideways.

The price of gold is up by an impressive 20% since Thanksgiving last year.
That's even a bit better than the S&P 500, which has climbed about 19%.
I'm thinking gold could hit the $1,700 level in 2020 thanks to a catalyst we haven't seen since 1999.
But that's not the only thing driving gold prices.
Movement in the price of gold has largely been unnoticed by the average investor.
The big money, however, has been very active in the gold market.

There's plenty of resistance facing the price of gold.
But we're entering what's typically the strongest season of the year for gold stocks.
And we fully expect the price of gold to rise soon, just after a little more near-term correction.

The price of silver has slid in the last month.
But it's still only in correction mode.
In fact, the data shows that silver prices have outpaced the broader markets since May, and they will continue to do so.
I expect its out-performance to continue as the Fed is now back on a $60 billion monthly T-bill buying program.
