I invested mostly in large slow growing companies that would be "unlikely", only under exceptional circumstances to drop any more than 2-3% and would make headlines if they did. Corona Virus: "Hold my beer" Was at +8% after the first 3 weeks. Dropped to +4% this time last week and then down to -3% yesterday. Got out completely today at -2.4% after a slight recovery. I was going to weather the storm but the swiftness of the drop spooked me out as well as thinking of the fallout when it hits the US.

I could see one or both being postponed. Same goes for some AAA games titles like Cyberpunk and Final Fantasy VII. If/when I'd expect dips in the console manufacturers and related companies I.e chip manufacturers, video game publishers etc etc Companies affected from what I mentioned: Sony Microsoft AMD CD Projekt Red Square Enix

I went from an overall gain of +10% to +6% in the past few days and things weren't slowing. Bit annoying but I'm sure there's others who saw bigger red numbers than me. I'm not sure how much longer this decline will continue, but I'd rather not wait and see what rock bottom looks like. I needed to cash out anyways since this money is going to be spent on a property soon (I hope!)
