3 Stocks Immune to the Coronavirus Outbreak
China's novel coronavirus has Wall Street running scared, and for good reason. The virus -- now designated COVID-19 -- has done a number on a number of stocks. It's proving especially pernicious for businesses that could potentially bring people into regular contact with other, possibly-infected, persons.
Case in point: Since the coronavirus was first discovered, shares of cruise operators Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise are down 16% and 18%, respectively, their shares damaged by news stories of passengers stranded on board as COVID-19 raged below-decks.
So how do you isolate your own portfolio from such concerns? Here's a modest suggestion: Buy stocks that build their business by enabling humans to interact without physical contact -- stocks such as Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU), and Twitter (NYSE: TWTR).
