DARLENE:

BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS --

STOCK ARE WAY DOWN ON THIS

MONDAY NIGHT...

FALLING NEARLY 2- THOUSAND

POINTS AT THE CLOSING BELL.

BRAD:

TONIGHT, INVESTORS ARE WEARY AS

U-S STOCKS PLUMMETED EARLIER

TODAY.

DARLENE:

THE S-AND-P 500 TOOK SUCH A HIT,

TRADING WAS TEMPORARILY HALTED.

DAN:

TRADING WAS HALTED WHEN THE S

& P 500

DROPPED 7-PERCENT IN JUST

MINUTES.

EXPERTS TELLING THAT WAS TO

PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE

MARKET WHICH

INVESTORS I TALKED TODAY ARE ALL

LOOKING

AT, A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

AS THE STOCK MARKET TODAY

PLUMMETED.

INVESTORS HERE IN COLUMBUS TOOK

NOTICE.

SOME VERY NERVOUS...

08:46-48

"I DIDN'T EVEN CHECK IT THIS

MORNING BECAUSE IT'S JUST TOO

DEPRESSING." ...WHILE OTHERS SEE

THIS AS A CHANCE TO BUY.

ERIK VASU-SARVER - GRANDVIEW

HEIGHTS 47:15-19

"I FIND IT TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY

TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AS OPPOSED

TO ONE YOU SHOULD BE RUNNING

FROM." THIS DROP IN THE STOCK

MARKET IS ATTRIBUTED

TO GROWING CONCERN OVER THE

CORONAVIRUS AND THE DECREASING

PRICE OF OIL.

BRUCE CAMPBELL IS A FINANCE

PROFESSOR AND

PROGRAM CHAIR AT FRANKLIN

UNIVERSITY.

TO MAKE SENSE OF TODAY HE

TELLS ME HIS MOST

IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR

INVESTORS

IS DO NOT PANIC.

12:42-44

"PANIC IS NEVER A GOOD THING."

CAMPBELL POINTED OUT TO ME

TODAY'S LOSS IS CERTAINLY NOT

THE LARGEST SINGLE DAY DECLINE

AND HISTORICALLY THE

MARKET DOES TEND TO REBOUND,

WITH TIME.

BUT WITH CORONAVIRUS SPREADING

SOME FEAR

A RECESSION IS NEAR.

CAMPBELL TELLING ME THAT COULD

BE AVOIDED

BASED ON HOW THE COUTRY

RESPONDS.

BRUCE CAMPBELL - FRANKLIN

UNIVERSITY 10:45-11:02

" IF PEOPLE CAN WORK FROM HOME

AND EMPLOYERS DON'T OVERREACT BY

LAYING PEOPLE OFF AND REDUCING

THEIR CAPACITY TO SPEND AND

CONSUME AND DRIVE THE ECONOMY,

THEN WE CAN EXPECT A RATIONAL,

TEMPERED SLOW RECOVERY FROM THE

UNCERTAINTY NOW."

IT'S THAT UNCERTAINTY THAT HAS

ABSOLUTELY CAUGHT THE ATTENTION

OF INVESTORS...

10:36-41

"HAVE YOU BEEN IN TOUCH WITH

YOUR FINANCIAL PLANNER IN LIGHT

OF ALL THIS? OH YEAH. WE TALK."

...AS WE ALL WAIT TO SEE HOW THE

MARKETS RESPOND.

08:57-09:04

"ULTIMATELY THE STOCK MARKET IS

A PENDULUM

THAT SWINGS BACK-AND- FORTH AND

THEY'VE BEEN INVESTING FOR A

LONG TIME IT'S GONNA COME

BACK."

DAN:

OF COURSE THIS IS SOMETHING WE

WILL

WATCH WHEN TRADING RESUMES AT

9:30

TOMORROW.

DP.
