| This is a fairly disgusting article from Skynews. BLUF: do not go long bats. Sell the BAT ETF. Until recently, bats were a popular product in the market (in Indonesia), but sellers say COVID-19 has had a big impact. "Because of the coronavirus my business is down. I now sell around five to six kilos of bats, usually it's 50 or 40 kilos," Mr Igol says. It's a similar story in the nearby Langowan traditional market. "Selling bats is difficult at the moment because people are scared. They have heard that coronavirus comes from bats, so they are frightened," stall-holder Patrice says. A little pile of bats on wooden skewers sits at the end of her table. "I used to sell 100 to 200 kilos per day and now it's only 25 kilos. I take these home," she says. |
