Summary

US equities opened on a weak note, and leaned weak into the afternoon, with the SPX printing 2892.

Meanwhile...


The Cramer touted... "Its embarrassing, its ridiculous, its necessary". On a positive note, the Cramer is at least right about the first two. Further, he was one of the first in late Jan/early Feb' who did recognise the looming Corona problems... even noting his canned goods stockpile.

The late afternoon saw a moderate recovery, as the sp'3000s remain viable, before another swing lower. Volatility picked up, the VIX settling +9.3% to 34.15.
