My business is actually not bad as I expected. I don’t know why because if people aren’t making money because they’re at home they shouldn’t be spending money.
Just going to roll with it, and invest a ton of my profits in the stock market.

BUT, without the virus, they should be way better than even normal around this point. So I'm definitely way down. My stuff is for people with somewhat disposable income tho.

My stuff is for people with somewhat disposable income tho. | Yeah same here. In way, I think a lot of sellers based online are thriving in these conditions. Maybe not thriving per say, but definitely compared to brick and motors without any income.
People with money, want to spend it. Weather its smart to or not with the uncertainty... lot of places are closed now, forced to by the government as I imagine you know. Online shopping is the only way for most things not of necessity like food. I'm getting messages daily asking if my company is shipping due to the virus.
Plus about 20-30% of my money is international buyers. So that helps a little. People are still buying internationally, for me at least.
The brick and motor companies, they're the ones f*cked.

Our market hasn’t dropped this much or this fast since the Great Depression. We’re truly, truly in unprecedented times.

People in their homes, they prefer to purchase online instead of taking a risk getting infected with the covid19.

I have had three abnormally slow days. One being last night, last Friday and super Tuesday. Why? Super Tuesday makes sense. The other two days, I really have no idea why.
