They were making their own makeshift sanitary pads.

needs.

And as a result, they were like, okay, how do we commercialize this?

How do we monetize this?

And so they actually developed the very first sanitary pad that we use today and turned it into a product.

I am down 15%, 20%.

I met someone that was down 30%.

I was like, I didn't even know that was possible.

I'm kidding.

It's a lot of money to lose, but there's a few key things that you can do now to protect yourself for the future.

Of course, I don't know what the share market's going to do tomorrow or next week or next month.
