    QE for the Bankers will not change the course of events of this calamity. This is simply corporate welfare using taxpayers money.

    One question is, how much of the fall is because of fears of a recession, and how much from fear of the virus? Or is the virus increasing the uncertainty?

    Agreed but if they don't extend the stimulus directly to actual citizens, this will end really badly. They need to support the corporate world to curb lay offs but also they need to support taxpayers directly.

    The WA government is freezing household fees and charges, including electricity, water, motor vehicle charges... This is the kind of measures that i feel will work and not free money for the big end of town.

    It's the virus. Pretty sure things would be reasonably stable if it wasn't. We were always due for a retracement but the virus has accelerated that (ridiculously). Again, those with cash will clean up in a few years time.

    Our markets will get slaughtered today. Sit back and watch the carnage unfold.

    Containment days are long gone.

    Vaccine is not possible unless this was a bioweapon and already had a "cure"

    Other points not even worth writing about .

    The points were the opinion of an experienced trader
    What he is basically saying is if you have one of these happening its time to jump in not before

    the safest possible way to make good money with no risk in a recession is physical assets, proven time and time again.

    yes you can on shares, and we all like to have a go too, but its not the safest way.

    Money is only made once you sell or when they pay you the dividend :D

    But completely agree, you would think market going up/stable would make you happy
    Instead want to see the red!

    From reports the time when things turn around is when a vaccine is found. Another point could be when new cases in Australia peaks out and the number of infections start to recede, and life locally gets relatively back to normal. From China's charts that could be 30 - 60 days. I imagine as long as we keep boarders closed this is when domestic confidence will start to gain again. When this happens, are ETF's like Vanguard a good place to put cash to take advantage of the bounce?

    Anyone who's lived through 1991 will tell you properties were the first thing to take them out in the recession.
