COVID-19's most dire impact on the economy is its unique speed. In a matter of one quarter, the demand for some sectors of the economy has fallen to nearly zero. Take airlines as an example. Compared to last year, the number of travelers going through airport TSA has fallen by 97%. Therefore, the source of immediate revenue for airlines has dried down. The situation is no better for restaurant, entertainment, or retail industries. The impact is not as drastic in other industries and sectors.

The result of the above screening is a list of more than 250 stocks that you can easily access, play around, and pick and choose from and create your COVID-19 portfolio. Visit the Strong balance sheet collection. Comments are closed.
