Will Monkeypox Crash the Stock Market?

Will Monkeypox Crash the Stock Market Again? The bearish stock market is here whether you've noticed it or not. The market has settled significantly lower in 2022. The question is whether Monkeypox will crash the stock market again. I think the answer is quite complicated but some investors may not agree. What is Monkeypox? Monkeypox is a pox-like disease which first appeared in monkeys being used for research back in 1958. Monkeypox is spread primarily through human contact with infected rodents, but can also be spread through skin-to-skin contact with an infected person who is presently infected. The main Monkeypox symptoms are fever and visible skin lesions. These symptoms can last anywhere from two to four weeks. Monkeypox is similar to smallpox but is rarely fatal. At this time there is no cure for Monkeypox, but some common anti-viral drugs may be effective in treating it. WHO declared Monkeypox a Global Health Emergency Now that the World Health Organization has declared Monkeypox a global health emergency investors need to focus on the ramifications of such a situation. The recent COVID catastrophe has reeked havoc on financial markets with the stock market being the most noteworthy victim. The difference this time around is the fact that Monkeypox is rarely fatal and therefore won't impact travel and attendance in public venues nearly as much. As a matter of fact, the public is so drained by the endless media firestorm over COVID that the Monkeypox drama may not see fear levels approaching COVID ever, maybe even if it were to become another pandemic. Is the Monkeypox Crash Coming (or not)? The likelihood of Monkeypox causing substantial turmoil in the stock market is low. Small-cap (penny stocks) are likely to be impacted in a similar fashion as the large-caps this time. As the market is still settling down and finding support for the next roll-up Monkeypox will likely be a small bump on a big road. What are your thoughts on Monkeypox stock market impact?

Even the wall art in caves can be considered marketing but that's a bit of a stretch... As much as 48% of what you pay for a product goes into the marketing, this is a remarkable statistic that really puts this industry into perspective. Marketing is and always has been a combination of qualitative and quantiative research. Qualitative research involves the people, or the customers, their habits, proferences, choices, etc. Quantitative research involves head count marketing, for example how many customers in a particular area or maybe how many units each customer will buy.

Are Penny Stocks a Waste of Time?

Are Penny Stocks a Waste of Time? Penny stocks sound attractive from the moment you hear that name. You can own stock in a legitimate company for a penny or less. This could be your chance to find the next Amazon or Google for just a penny. But are penny stocks a waste of time? The intrigue of instant wealth pulls retail investors into the stock market each and every day in search of the next big thing. What Makes Stock a Penny Stock? A penny stock is simply a micro-cap sized company, or a not-yet profitable growing company selling their stock for any price under 5 dollars per share. Some companies dispense their shares for fractions of a penny per share, that's right, you can actually purchase multiple shares per penny in some cases.
