Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No previous epidemic of infectious disease, like Spanish flu, has as profoundly impacted the stock market as the COVID-19 pandemic has. We use text-based methods to establish this argument in terms of broad regular stock market changes back to 1900 and overall stock market volatility.This is why this material was designed to give practitioners and financial professionals an understanding of the pandemic 's effect on the stock market.It would also argue that policy responses to the pandemic COVID-19 offer the most convincing reason for its unparalleled effect on the stock market. In this material, we analyze the potential effects that the coronavirus, "COVID-19," will have on the stock market and then we propose possible ways for an individual to profit from a global viral outbreak-affected market. We look at past outbreaks and come to the conclusion that, in the short term, markets will often react adversely to such incidents but that, in the long run, markets will eventually correct themselves and grow. We recommend shorting industries to benefit from such a demand that would be instantly impacted by the virus in the short run and ultimately buy back into those industries after their price has fallen significantly. Specifically, we look at the travel industry, the technology industry, the entertainment industry and gold as possible areas where large profits can be made.This material will help to understand possible steps that can be taken in times like this, and how to still make stock market profits even while we are all at home.
