With the Australian sharemarket, or S&P/ASX 200 (ASX: XJO), down more than  20% from its peak, and an Australia-wide Coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown a possibility, I asked two close friends to offer an investors’ perspective.

Claude Walker is the Founder of A Rich Life and Andrew Page is the Founder of Strawman.com. I asked both analysts to sit down and record a candid conversation about the recent events in markets.

Please note: while we talk about the financial market impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we in no way want to make light of the tragic loss of human life as a result of these unfolding events.

Please use the resources below this video to ensure you are informed about the virus, infections, as well as best practice for mitigating the risks for yourself, family and those around you.
