Is a Cure Found? 

University of Chicago Medicine analyst saw “Very fast recoveries” in 125 patients suffering from COVID-19 who were taking Gilead Sciences Inc.’s GILD, +9.73% experimental drug redeliver as part of a clinical trial, according to a Thursday night report. This made Gilead Sciences Inc rose almost 9%.
I think that this made Wall Street think that a cure was close and that any good news with a cure or medicine would make any investor less worried. Also, this would make normal people think that the crash was coming to an end and these low prices are a good buy. 
Over 22 million Americans have lost their job due to COVID-19, moving it from 3.5% to around 15%. 


Companies to Watch 

Gilead Sciences Inc.’s (GILD)
Apple (AAPL)
Procter & Gamble Co (PG)

Top Oil Stocks to Buy 2020

Over the past couple of weeks Oil has been getting slammed (down over 75%) compared to the Dow Jones (down around 33%). The extreme move showed just how oversupplied the U.S. oil market has become with industrial and economic activity grinding to a halt as governments around the globe extend shutdowns due to the swift spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

One of the most common questions I get asked is "Will the market rebound". The short answer is no, I don't think the market will go up any time soon and here are my reasons: 1) How long does the average recession take? The average recession last around 11 months, and we just entered the 2020 recession. 2) Unemployment Around 22 million people have filed for unemployment since Pres.
