If I had the ability to, I'd be using options and all the tools the strategies they offer. Unfortunately, I'm Australian, and Australians charge an arm and a leg to do anything financial, so unless you've got a few hundred k to play with, it doesn't really work out after fees, I'm trading US stocks/etfs only because there are virtually zero fees.
I've done a fair bit of research regarding the wu flu, and it doesn't look good.
I know that inverse ETFs for energy are up, for a lot of reasons, including much less travel, and trade from China grounding to a halt. But that's now "priced in". I'm betting on a massive quarantine, and everything not food related shutting down, like what China has done.
Edit: the main thing I cannot ignore is that PRC China has sacrificed its GDP over this and shutdown everything. PRC China doesn't give a fuck about a few dead people. If the CCP is going all out, it must be pretty fucking horrible. As in it could trigger a revolution or war, horrible.
