The 2020 COVID-19 stock market retreat

Late on March 11, 2020, I just took a look at the stock market. After today’s drop, the S&P has arguably gone back in time to June 1, 2018, as shown in the top image. As shown in the bottom image, you can argue that the Dow Jones (Trump’s “Dow Joans”) has gone back even further, to October, 2017.

This is happening as the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been hitting the United States over the last 1-2 weeks. Here in Colorado we had 11 cases reported two days ago, and two days later we’re up to 33.
