    Have you ever been on a roller-coaster ride at an amusement park?

    This week’s US stock market movements felt a lot like a gut-wrenching ride, minus the amusement.

    Volatility spiked significantly higher after the US reported that the Covid-19 virus had reached their shores, infecting a group of people and killing a man in California.

    The state then declared a state of emergency in order to contain the spread of the bug.

    With that, 800 to 1,000-plus point movements on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX: .DJI) became a daily occurrence.

    Investors need to accept that volatility is here to stay, as fear and uncertainty regarding Covid-19 grow stronger by the day.
