Yes, the Collapse of the Stock Market Is Coming

Dr. Boyce Watkins makes some interesting points. According to him, yes, the collapse of the stock market is coming.  As it has many times before.  

Spoiler alert:  The stock market will recover.  As it has many times before.  

He is probably right.  

He also says only 1% of people will catch the coronavirus.  Here's why I don't agree:  
  • If someone coughs or sneezes, the droplets remain in the air for THREE HOURS; 
  • the droplets can remain on a surface for several days; 
  • the virus is so small it can fit through minute gasps in a face mask; 
  • mass testing is not being done in the U.S. or the UK, therefore we are not monitoring how many people have the virus, or where they are; 
  • healthcare workers are not being tested so they may be infecting others. 

I could go on, but I'm not tryng to depress you.  

I reckon pretty much everyone will get it.  But most people will have only mild symptoms, so it's nothing to worry about unless you have underlying health issues - like me - or are aged over 80.  

Anyway, please watch the video above, see what you think, comment below and please share.

$50,000 in Three Days

Marcus Garvey
I saw a documentary entitled "The Promised Ship" last night, screened by Black History Studies.  Did you know that Marcus Garvey raised $50,000 for the Black Star Line in three days?  This was from poor banana-growing communities in Costa Rica in the early 1920s.  

Check out the video below for more info.  

What does this tell us about the potential of Black-owned businesses today?  Remember, Garvey did this without the internet, without mobile phones, without any of the modern methods of mass communication that we have available.  

Black businesses potentially have enormous economic clout.  I have been talking about this on the radio and we will continue to talk about this.  See also:  Black Businesses:  Our Economic Clout

Stay tuned for Part 2 on the subject of our economic clout.
