Show notes

The US markets suffer their worst two day loss in five years and The FarrCast is here to help you make sense of it!

Michael Farr talks about the broader economic implications of the coronavirus epidemic. The market is beginning a repricing based on the impacts of trade and supply chains. Dan Mahaffee joins to talk about the latest developments in the presidential race, and how the markets may react, and the races react to the market.

This week's special guest is Jack Bouroudjian. He has a salient warning for investors -- we don't know how bad the impacts of the epidemic can be. It might not be much -- but we might lose a couple of quarters of growth, and the market implications are significant.
