I’m of two minds tonight, my COVID-19 thoughts
My thoughts on stocks and bonds in normal daily trades
Where, as share prices tanked, the trading volume dropped
To roughly just one third of average daily rates
This means that most investors were biding much their time
Like bucking bronco horsemen riding this one out
But Friday and today the trading volume climbed
The net price gain was naught. What was that all about?
Perhaps the traders felt more confident, secure
The plague is under gov. control. Trump’s doing what he should
But I don’t see that happening, ‘though Trump keeps boasting sure
Which calls to mind my second thoughts: Trump’s lack of doing good
Trump’s handling of this epidemic’s been so bad as yet
That there’s no way that one could say with confidence just how
And when this plague will run its course, the tally of the deaths
How could the traders be so sure with what we witness now?
