I am also trying not to hang out on coronavirus-related social media because it's just driving up the panic.
I would definitely recommend you to avoid them. Social Media just made it worse. You just need to know that you have to stay inside and keep yourself busy, so that you won't ever feel like that way. Stay safe.

Top 12 Trader movies grabbed off Steve Burns's web site, lists a few I'd not heard of before;

1. The Big Short: This is my all-time favorite trading movie. It told the stories of three traders that bet against the housing market bubble and won big.

2. Wall Street: A tale of all that is wrong with Wall Street insider trading.

3. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps: This is much better than the original, and tells the story of the comeback of Gordon Gekko.

4. Trading Places: The classic comedy where commodity traders try to turn a street hustler into a trader.

5. Margin Call: I really enjoyed this drama about traders inside an investment bank at the beginning of the 2008 financial meltdown. I wish this movie was longer.

6. Floored: This movie did a good job of showing how the trading life can turn your life upside down, or for some people, it can make you fabulously wealthy.

7. Boiler Room: This movie is about how a boiler room operation works by hawking non-existent stocks and bonds for non-existent companies to enrich the ‘brokers’ peddling these worthless stocks.

8. The Wolf of Wall Street: This is at times a raunchy story of greed based on the writings of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker in penny stocks convicted of market manipulation. This movie may contain more drugs, sex, nudity, and cursing than you see in the other movies, but it’s ultimately a comedy and works as pure entertainment.

9. Rogue Trader: The story of Nick Leeson, an ambitious investment broker who single handedly bankrupted Barings one of the oldest and most important banks in Britain.

10. Too Big to Fail: This movie chronicles the financial meltdown of 2008 and centers on Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.

11. Barbarians at the Gates: This movie centered on the leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco. Audiences will be shocked at the incompetence and greed of Nabisco’s CEO F. Ross Johnson and the behind-the-scenes negotiations around this famous LBO.

12. The Wizard of Lies: A movie about the fall of the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme that robbed $65 billion from its investors. The story of the largest fraud in the history of the U.S.
