Ever since it became clear that COVID-19 was spreading across the globe, there's been another pandemic proliferating in its wake.
This "other" pandemic isn't immediately visible to the naked eye.
It's not grabbing as many headlines.
But it's everywhere.
And it's dangerous.
Very dangerous…
I'm talking about the pandemic of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and outright lies about COVID-19.
With our world being turned upside down and scientists still searching for responses to this brand-new virus, regular folks like us are searching for answers.
And there are plenty of people in "the media" and out there in the online sphere who are only too happy to provide their half-baked guesses as "answers."
But to protect yourself, your family, and your economic wellbeing, you need to know what's really going on.
So today, let's close that Reality Gap between what half-baked pundits, self-important voices, and self-serving politicians are saying, and what we really know.
I've asked myself why I should weigh in and if I felt comfortable doing so. I answered that question by considering that – as a trained chemical engineer who was awarded the highest level of licensing – I have the credentials and the experience to sort through the scientific noise, to separate some of the signals from the noise, and to understand how these insights can be applied.
And to help make sure I'm bringing you all the "full story," I've also leaned on experts credentialed in science, medicine, risk analysis, and crisis management.
Here's what's being said about the COVID-19 pandemic. And here's what's actually true about it… Full Story
This morning, United States weekly jobless claims came in at 4.4 million.
Just over 26 million Americans have now applied for unemployment… In the last 5 weeks.
That means the U.S. economy has wiped out all the job gains since the Great Recession.
Unemployment sits at 23% and it doesn't look like we're close to re-opening the economy any time soon.
Despite that, investors shrugged off the news, bidding up the S&P 500 about 1.7% to start the day.
But stocks turned over mid-day and closed about flat.
During our markets live segments today, April 8, our experts covered it all: stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities.
So, if you own any of those things… You're going to want to pay close attention.
If you're able to watch live, you can execute the same trades before the majority of the market catches on.
You see, the coronavirus crisis has many second and third layer "knock-on effects," which are affecting all industries – not just restaurants, airlines, cruises, and the other typical industries everyone knows has issues now.
It's also changing the way the world looks at fiat currencies, gold, oil and bonds.
Based on that, here's how our experts – Chris Johnson, Tom Gentile, D.R. Barton, Jr., and Shah Gilani – see as the best way to position for profit today.

The world has declared war on the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. And the markets are in a full-blown tailspin as a result.
In less than one month, all three major indexes shed more than 20% off their recent highs – making it the fastest we've ever entered a bear market. Portfolios are being drained of cash.

The last time I spoke with you folks, I told you about three different things that you could do – and that I'm definitely doing myself – in the midst of a world crisis like the coronavirus:
1. Risk less – around the office we have a saying, "Trade small, trade often," and there's a reason for that. Trade small basically means small risk, but also, trading often means we're able to diversify ourselves into many different things, both bullish and bearish.
2. Look for things that go up in a down market.
3. Exploit volatility when it comes to options – boy, have we got volatility here now.
Now, I wanted to take a few minutes with you to show you how I assess these markets.
I divide the overall market into four grids because wherever the overall market is going, chances are, your portfolio's being affected in one way or another. Specifically, I watch four key areas – the "four corners of the market" – to tell me what's going on, and the right action to take… Full Story
