Buffett's Best Stocks During the Coronavirus Crash
It's been an incredibly rough past four weeks for investors, and the rapid global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is to blame. This lung-focused illness has been confirmed in nearly 219,000 people and is responsible for more than 8,800 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University as of early March 19. While stringent mitigation measures designed to ensure that the global healthcare system doesn't become overwhelmed are necessary, these actions have also ground economic activity to a near-halt.
The result has been a complete beatdown for global stock markets, and significant paper losses for even the most storied investors.
