Essay (minimum of 500 words) avoid plagiarsim hehe

Which segment of the capital market had perform well during this pandemic and which segment had perform poorly? Explain.

Answer 1

the segments which impacted positively during pandemic are follows

Helth care Biotech

Biotechnology and health care sectors are showing some positivity compared to broad benchmarks due to their participation in the hunt for COVID-19 treatments. Mid caps and large caps that closed near 52-week highs example QuidelCorporation (QDEL), Centene Corporation (CNC), and Masimo Corporation (MASI) etc

Teleconferencing

Teleconferencing software companies have also attracted buying interest in stock market, but the group got pummeled last week after stocks were run up too far, too fast. Nasdaq 100 component Citrix Systems, Inc. (CTXS) could prosper after a pullback, with the 2020 breakout above 2018 resistance still intact. Teledoc Health, Inc. (TDOC) looks like another way to play the American retreat to the homestead, with that stock lifting nearly 30% since the start of February.

Safe Havens

Traditional safe havens are acting slightly better than their growth counterparts, with high dividends easing the pain of lower prices. Campbell Soup Company (CPB) is trading close to a 52-week high after a strong earnings report and also pays a 2.84% forward dividend yield. And it's hard to resist a water play like American Water Works Company, Inc. (AWK) in this environment, despite the unimpressive 1.56% yield.

The segments which impacted negatively during the pandemic are as follows

Crude oil

The crude oil consumption has drastically decreased due to lockdowns in major cities in countries like India ,china, south corea etc
