  RE: What the Swine Flu Could Mean for Business

  Bulls, Bears, and now... Pigs and Porks
  
  
  Trouble never come alone.
  Not enough with an unprecedented financial crisis, with huge unemployment rates around the planet, and companies going into bankruptcy almost every minute ... that now, we have a flu problem.
  
  Not a normal flu healed with aspirines, but a pandemia. At least, that is what the media are telling us.
  
  Shall we prepare as the so acclaimed Will Smith character in I AM LEGEND ??
  
  Till last week, we were talking about BEARS and BULLS, now we have to talk about PIGS and PORKS.
  
  As I mentioned in my previous article " Play it again, Sam", let's see if media, politicians, authorities etc... behave in a rational way, and do not create unproportioned alarm.
  
  Stock exchanges are said to be down due to this flu, airlines stocks are tumbling, as well as leisure time companies... Nevertheless, GSK is up 6%, due to the vaccine is going to solve our problems with this porky flu.
  
  GSK and NOVARTIS. Obviously, pharma companies ready to sell out all their stocks of TAMIFLU and other drugs. It is ok, no problem.
  Experts say that if this flu becomes pandemic, the global turmoil will become worse and recovery will last even more than forecasted one week ago.
  
  Nice day today to announce that Citi and Bank of America will need to raise funds again.
  
  Stock exchanges in Europe are opening at this time, let's see what a rollercoaster session are we offered today...
  
  Meanwhile Obama's planes flew over Manhattan frightening the NYC community thinking of another 11-S. My goodness !!! What a nice view of the world we have !!!!
  
  CNN must be burning the engines in Atlanta with all these news, guauuu !!!!
  
  Optimistics always say that if the worst has come, then we can only improve. Let's hope so, at least if this is the worst that may happen.
  
  As an investor, I always say that even during the World Wars, people earned money, so let's go surfing today to see if we ride good pipes...
  
  BBVA has announced better than expected Q1 2009 results, so let's surf again with banks, ... Or, the flu will also affect them somehow ???
  
  DEUTSCHE BANK has also posted better than expected Net Profit, so it seems that some banks are going through the crisis better than the others.... So, what are we waiting for ???... Money burns !!!!
  
  At the end, if WE ARE LEGEND... What does money matters ???
