Coronavirus Infects Stock Market: Part XXX
Some thoughts as you second guess your retirement (or your spouse does for you).
- The late Richard Russell, in remembering the Great Depression: The most valuable asset you have is a J-O-B. (You know RR from Rich Man, Poor Man, an all-time favorite of mine.)

He is more than a little skeptical about this virus. He calls it: CoroNOvirus.
