Investing, ETF’s and the Swine Flu?
SARS affected Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and other Asia countries from November 2002 to June 2003. Business travel and tourism were dramatically cut, retail sales collapsed, impacting the already fragile economy (as it was just coming out of the 01-02 recession driving by collapse of Tech bubble)…….
……While I would hate to profit from something like this, in case the Swine Flu does turn out to be as widespread as the Asian SARS experience, the best investment opportunity for this is EWW (ETF for Mexico). However, as we follow WHO and other countries being impact, there may be other markets that may experience similar patterns.
For those with more expertise in medicine, I’m sure there is a pharma / bio-tech play of some sort … I’ll leave it to them to capitalize on need of vaccine.
