What was said around it

not to say that we can't look at the economic data try to analyze it and then come to a reasonable and logical conclusion but at the end of the day we have no idea how the markets are going to react and at which point we begin going back up like if I were to guess and just trust me guys like this is just a pure guess I would say we probably go up and down in price within about a 10 percent range over the next few weeks or a few months and then slowly we'll begin moving back up with more Green Day's than red but again that's just a total guess and I would not be surprised if things continue to get worse and the markets continue dropping further until then I have a feeling we're gonna probably see a lot more volatility a lot more unemployment a lot of businesses shutting down and things on paper looking worse but I think long term it's going to cause a lot of businesses to restructure how they operate it's gonna leave way more room for error and I have a feeling a lot of people are gonna find that they're way more productive working at home than they are going into an office and from there I believe that for a long-term investor as in you don't need this money for the next five to 15 years
