Stocks now are so much more different than even 10 years ago. The media and social media influence on the market is astounding. When one tweet can send a stock sky rocketing or plummeting is crazy. That being said, this coronavirus is being blown way out of proportion and the fickle sheep are going crazy because of media fear mongering.

This is exactly why I love the Fitbit watches. They are tough, simple, and helluva a lot cheaper than apple/samsung. I don't need GPS or other smart features for some stupid price. I just want a fitness tracker for bpm's, biking, swimming, running, and that also tells time/stop watch and give me phone and text notifications. Lastly, it has to be able to go under water and withstand rough wear for a reasonable price. Oh hey, Fitbit does this stuff the best?
